Re: peg tube/ spell of illness

Then it sounds as if you could cover him.  He would get the full 100 days, assuming he meets the criteria for amount and percentage of calories.  He would continue to be on skilled care after that and , so, would not be able to qualify for another 100 days unless the amount of tube feeding would change to no longer meet the criteria.  ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 4:45 AM Subject: Re: peg tube/ spell of illness Our resident did have a three day stay when the tube was inserted but did not go to a SNF on discharge.  This is the first admission since that time and yes he meets the criteria for content and quality of feeding material.
