She did receive therapy services. Howerver, she was since discontinued. I have been skilling her in nursing for the wound. My question is, she continues to receive BID dressing changes. However, her wounds are improving and now measuring: 0.5cmx0.5cmx0.1cm and on admission they measured 3.0cmx0.5cm. The other 2 wounds are considered a venous stasis ulcer and is now measuring 0.2x0.2 and 0.2x0.2 and they were 0.3x0.2 (both were). Would you still consider her medicare A? thanks for all responses, Billie Stewart, RNAC [EMAIL PROTECTED] /---------------------------------------------------------- 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.
