RE: Projecting minutes

[Gloria Benton]

reread what it says in the RAi manual, they want and estimate of what the therapy minutes would be if the patient was going to actually receive the therapy this is if the patient is in the facility less than the full assessment time

If therapy has evaled and provided an estimation of treatment, I would include this in the MDS.  You will only get paid for the days that the resident was in your facility and covered by Medicare.  The RUG generated will help pay for the therapy evals. 

If therapy was ordered, but NO eval done, I would nNOT enter any projection minutes.

I have a lady that was admitted 3-1-03 with orders to eval and treat, PT/OT.  Therapies evaled but she left before a treatment was given.  Do I still predict minutes since they did eval. or not?
