If the resident is no longer skilled and you do not do an OMRA, should a Sig. change be done to re-set the RUG reimbursement rate? If no sig change, is it fraudulent to allow the reimbursement rate to remain at a RM w/o therapy for the remainder of the 60 days?   Gail Neustadt, NHA ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 9:53 PM Subject: Re: Coding Pain In a message dated 3/22/2004 9:52:15 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ...If therapy is the last service to skill a resident and the resident was a RMC at the 30 day MDS, then discharged from therapy 35, should an OMRA be done in 8, 9, o r10 days? It should be done on day 8,9,or 10 after completion of therapy. Not if the resident is no longer skilled.
