No, if they are only planning to see the resident one week, they would code the days
and minutes that they are planning to see the resident. This is different from when
therapy planned to see a resident for the full 15 days but the resident was discharged
prior to that time. If they think there is only limited benefit from skilled therapy
and are not planning to see them more than a few days, the estimation should reflect
the actual plan.
