Re: missed doing re-entry and discharge tracking forms

[donna fox]

It may take awhile, but eventually the fiscal intermediary will catch the error.  Probably when they process the hospital bill and they will deny the hospital payment because according to the tracking in the system the resident was in a SNF the days that the hospital is billing for.  Plus your billing staff could not have included those days on the UB.  I would recommend completing the tracking forms at this time and save a lot of eventual headaches.

Hi all,    If a discharge and re-entry tracking form were not done and this is discovered several months later on a resident that was Medicare A stay should they be done now?     Resident was admitted 12/12/03,  5-day MC/admission MDS completed 12/17/03,  was discharged to hospital 12/19/03 and readmitted 12/21/03, then died 12/22/03.  A discharge tracker was sent 12/22/03 but her brief admission to the hospital tracking forms were missed.  Anyone know what to do at this point?
