if they go to hospital I do return anticipated if they go home I do a
return not anticipated
You may do a Discharge return anticipated if
you expected them back. The expectation of return is not something that
someone else can decide. I always suggest that you do a Discharge return not
anticipated if they are gone more than 14 days. It is not a regulatory
requirement (in most states), but keeps things simpler.

Hi
A patient was admitted to the
facility on 1/21 and transferred to the hospital on 2/6.She was not eligible
for bed hold(not in facility 30 days).Would you code have discharge -return
not anticipated?
The patient was admitted back to the facility
3/2
Thanks
