RE: Medicare Part A or B

[Faye Jones]

It only has to be 60 consecutive days of unskilled care anytime since his last use of Medicare A.  Example, if he was 60 days skilled free the 60 days prior to the Part B rehab, he still is entitled to a new spell.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of M. Wilson Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 8:03 AM To: AANAC Subject: Medicare Part A or B   We have a resident that had a decline in ambulation and was picked up by PT for a month under Medicare part B.  He then suffered a CVA w/ hemiplegia.  He just came back from the hospital and PT & OT are going to treat him.  Admissions and the Admin. want him under Medicare part A, but doesn't the month of therapy right before the stroke mean he didn't have 60 days nonskilled?  Thanks for any responses.-----Mike Do you Yahoo!?
