Importance: High Had a hard time trying to figure what the subject should be.?? I have a resident who has been here on the skilled unit for almost 30 days now. She came to us without insurance. I did a 14 day omra. She has since applied for Medicare disability. If and when the Medicare is approved, will it go back to day of admit and then we can get paid? What do I do with assessments start now with 5 day? What would the ARD be ? Do I go back and do a correction of my Omra and make it Medicare also? It is almost 30 days and time for a 30 day Medicare if I am going to do this. Never had this situation before can someone help clarify this for me.? Thanks Karen. ____________________________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp ?SRC=lycos10 /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
