RE: ADMISSION ASSESSMENT

[MDS Lady]

It is always best to ask your FI on a situation like this.....some FI's pay even if discharged to a participating provider and some don't.

 

Or you could try billing and see if it denied or paid.

Here is a question.  You could only bill Medicare for that day if the resident is discharged to a nonparticipating facility.  If the resident was discharged back to the hospital or other SNF, then the faciltiy would not be able to bill for that day????

 

This is how I am interpreting the CMS regulations.

If the date of admission and date of discharge are the same, you may bill Medicare for that day.

Thank you.  I did not do an assessment and I did do the tracking form # 8.  Someone answered that if it is a Med A resident that a 5 Day should be done--BUT this resident expired prior to midnight therefore does not require a 5 Day...correct??

Subject: skilling for arterial ulcers

 

We have a Med A resident admitted on 3/3 with a diagnosis of respiratory failure, s/p mechanical ventilation. Her last therapy day was 4/7.  She has two stage II  arterial ulcers on her lower extremity which we are treating plus we are doing diabetic teaching to assure a safe discharge. She has been an insulin dependent diabetic for 30 yrs, however she has had some short term memory problems since this illness and is exhibiting difficulties with the SQ injection.  How long can she be skilled under Med A?
