RE: REMAINING MEDICARE DAYS

[Baker, Margaret (SNMH)]

I am resending this query as I did not get a definitive answer from anyone.  Can you call the Fiscal Intermediary and get this information? -----Original Message----- From: Baker, Margaret (SNMH) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 11:12 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: REMAINING MEDICARE DAYS Our Case Manager/Discharge Planner needs to know how to easily find out if a pt that acute care wants to send to us has any remaining Medicare days and how many they might have.  Isn't there some way she can find this out?  Especially for pts who are also in and out of other Skilled Nursing Facilities in addition to our Acute Care hospital and attached Transitional Care Facility---and all of this may be part of the same illness with no healthy period in between.
