1. Since the Patient is
Med A and being covered under Consolidated Billing regs, you wouldn't
get paid separately for therapy anyway. Unless the patient is in
their bed at midnight, you will not be able to bill the Medicare program for
that day.
2. Yes, you count it on
the MDS
3. (previous email
below) I don't believe you can legally bill the resident for a LOA day. If
Medicare doesn't pay for that day, I don't believe the facility can expect the
patient to pay.

therapy that was given that day?
Does the facility get paid for it?
Can we count it on the MDS if the LOA day falls within the observation
period? Thanks for your
help. Angie -----Original

billing dept, we instruct everyone on admission r/t the midnight rule and bill
the resident or Medicaid (if they have it). -----Original
Message----- I need some help on the following
question: If a Medicare resident is not in
bed at midnight but has not been discharged for admitted into another healthcare
facility (rather is either in ER or on therapeutic leave), we know that the SNF
cannot bill Medicare for that day but the Medicare schedule is adjusted by the
number of days resident is absent. My question is, when this happens do you usually put
the resident's bed on hold and if so, who pays for the bed if Medicare can't be
billed? Thanks for any help you can
provide Linda |
