Title: Message

I agree with the therapies.   As long as she has full ROM of those extremities they should be coded 0/1.     Pat Whitcomb, RN MDS Coordinator Madonna Towers 507-288-3911, Ext. 3050 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharon Pratt Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 1:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: coding Sec G4 I have a resident with a recent CVA. She has total L side paralysis. I have coded her as 1/1 for arm, leg and hand.  My therapy dept tells me she should be coded as a 0/1 because she has full passive ROM of those extremities.  Can anyone clarify coding this sec. for me?  Thank you in advance   Sharon Pratt RN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------- NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is either attorney privileged and/or confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or agent responsible to deliver it to the intended recipient; or, alternately, proprietary information (trade secret).
