Your BO can bill for an admission if the resdient is dc'd before
midnight. The BO should know the right code to file it under. ANd
then you would want your 5 day assessemtn to bring in the proper
reinbursement. We all know the amount of work you do in the first few
hours after an admission! Take credit!

I would have done it the same way- 5day and then discharge!

is for
payment. resident admitted and discharged to hospitap at the same
day and
your facility can't send bill anyways. why 5days mds is needed?
And it is
not for resident's quality of care neither because resident is
not there
anymore. But discharge tracking is needed to be
completed.
