I have been told in the past that you would not have to do the OMRA if the
Resident will be discharged from the facility on day 8,9 or 10 following therapy
being dc'd. Is what I was told incorrect?
If Therapy dc'd on March 1st and the Resident will go home on March 10th
you would or would not do an OMRA? (the Resident continued on IV's until the
10th)

DO IT
If the resident was in a Rehab group prior to the end of therapy, you
must do the OMRA...See page 2-29 of the RAI Manual...It states,
"Not required if resident is discharged from Medicare prior to day 8
(after end of therapy)."
"Not required if not previously in a RUG-III Rehabilitation group"

Yes, I think you're right.
