IF you had a new 3 day qualifying stay you may pick her up for the
balance for her original 100 days. She has not had the 60 day break so
she does not get the full 100 days again. But she can definately use
the 38 she had left.

I have a resident who just returned from 3 day qualifying hospital
stay. She has passed the 30 days where I could have picked her up again
had she had a decline in condition and needed further skilling. She has
not had a 60 day period of wellness. Can I skill her and use the
remaining 38 days that she had under her initial 100 days. Part of my
MDS team is saying yes, once she starts her initial 100 days, if she has
another 3 day hospital stay then she can use up whatever she didn't use
before she was d/c'd to LTC. The other part is saying that it's a shame
but if she has passed the 30 days but has not a 60 day period of
wellness then she can't continue to use up the remainder of the 100 days
she didn't use before.
Also, when you reply please tell me where I can find this in writing.
One half of MDS team is going to want me to "prove it" Thanks.
