BUT,
If she had 60 consecutive days of "wellness"
PRIOR to the IV insertion, would she not have ended the prior benefit
period? Then, the 3 night qualifying stay would begin a new benefit
period. I didn't see anything indicating she had not ended a previous
benefit period.

Subject: RE:
You count wellness periods from one covered stay to the next
(your count
starts at the end of one benefit period and goes through to the
next
hospitalization). Any skilling service during that time
frames
interrupts the wellness period so your 60 days of wellness would
have
ended when you started the IV's in the facility. If this had not
been
done and she had been admitted to the hospital, then she would
have
qualified for a new benefit period.
