If she had a 60 wellness period prior to the IV's you could skill her under part A because she had a 60 day break. You need to know if she had a 60 day break prior to the IV's. D Nichols, RN, RAC-C

I am thinking no since she had skilled care the last few days before she left our facility, therefore does not meet the 60 days of unskilled care criterial.
