You will still need to have some type of treatment, dietary supplements, special beds, pressure relieving devices, turning/ repositioning, or dressing changes or ointments. You need 2 types of skin treatment.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 5:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: please! second request, I need answer, keep medicare? eschar on ulcers,...   In a message dated 4/1/2004 6:06:21 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a medicare resident who was receiving therapies. Therapies have stopped.  He has "multiple ischemic ulcers" on both feet (diabetic),  but they are eschar covered (unstagable, but stage IV for mds purposes), and the daily treatment is for skin prep.   This is not a "daily dressing change"!!   Can I skill him for wounds?   I need an answer quick! Thanks!   Nancy I'm at home so I can't quote my source but I believe that 2 or more pressure ulcers of any stage or one stage III or IV will skill a resident weather or not it's got a dressing.   PRIVACY NOTICE -3/4/2004- The information contained in this message is privileged and confidential information intended for the use of [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are neither the intended recipient nor the employee or agent responsible for delivering this information to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution, or taking of any action in reliance on the content of this information is strictly prohibited.
