Skilled serviced were d/c'd 12/10/03 was admitted to the hospital 2/1/04 and returned to us 3/8/04. Our billing office has advised me that the 2/1/04 date is the one to be used as returning to skilled services. I have never run into this before and wanted to check. It is a matter of having another 100 days or not. Appreciate feed back. /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
