Our FI would not cover for the care of the ileostomy itself.  I would however cover at least through the presumptive days for clinical monitoring of dehydration (assuming he met the inpatient criteria)  sb

Subject: ilestomy

A new admission s/p dehydration/sepsis has an old ilestomy.  If he was never billed as skilled for this can I bill him for this now?  He is confused and unable to do his own ilestomy care.  No special treatment is needed for this ilestomy just routine care. 

Thanks in advance,

Nancy
