She is eligible because she had a qualifying stay of 3 days at the hospital even though its past her 30 days. This is assuming she has Medicare days available. Christine
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 8:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Refresher course, please I know this has been discussed before, but please respond. Res. on MedA, therapy d/c's, nothing to skill her. 26 days after therapy d/c's she's readmitted to the hospital and has a 10 day stay. Upon return, can I skill her? It's been more than 30 days since therapy d/c'd her, but doesn't the hospitalization count as skilled days, therefore making her eligible to resume her hundred days where she left off?
