Nancy,
It has been a year since I left PA so my PA skills might be getting a little rusty.  I believe that you are describing a resident who was MA in the community but does not have a nursing home MA number.  The community number does not transfer to the nursing home and it often takes months to get a nursing home number.  I would mark that she is MA pending, if benefits applied for,  and that she was MA eligible for day 1.  Check with your insurance billing person at your facility to be sure, but I am pretty sure that is how I marked it.
