I think you do because even though the ST did not put them in a RUGS I believe it still is figured in the CMI which determines your reimbursement. I am at home a cannot look this up, but my guess is yes.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richardson, Christine Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ileoostmoy/omra I have a two part question. 1) Is there any where, besides the ostomy in section H ,that I would code for an ileoostomy? 2) 60 day MDS done 3/1 res is in nursing category even though he did receive ST during that assessment. ST Was dcd on 03/05/2004. Do I need to do an OMRA? It wouldn't change the RUG category.
