Title: Medicare Eligible

Section T will cover the resident from day 1 through day 15 if the therapists expected therapy, otherwise the first 5 days are deemed skilled for coverage purposes.   Gail Neustadt, NHA Pittsburgh, PA ----- Original Message ----- From: Angie Palac To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 10:31 PM Subject: Medicare Eligible If a resident is admitted to a Nursing Home after a 3 day hospital stay, and therapy was ordered, but unfortunately the resident was not appropriate for therapy, what does the facility do?  For example, the evaluation was not done until Monday because the resident was admitted late Friday. How does the facility bill for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and lets presume that there is nothing that the facility can capture from the hospital.  Has this ever happened to anyone?  Any help would be much appreciated.
