Re: 30 day assessment

[June Brunelle]

I also have a simalar situation, but I was told that if the therapy is discontinued during the 30 day, all you have to do is an OMRA.  According to the response here. I do the 30 day and then 8-10 days later do the OMRA.  I am new at skilled and obviously still confused.

He will receive therapy today (3/3). Do we still need to complete his 30 day assessment to get paid for his 31st day of stay? Andrea. Yes.  And if he continues to receive any other skiller, an OMRA is due 8-10 days after the last day of therapy in order to change the RUG level for billing.  Any chance of therapy reducing him to 3days a week and letting restorative pick up the balance for a week?  Will get you a rehab low for longer period of time.  Just a thought.   Sherri
