You can bill Medicare Part A for the day of discharge when it is also the day of admission if the beneficiary was discharged to a provider that does not participate in the Medicare program. If the resident is discharged to a Medicare-participating provider, such as an acute care hospital, the SNF cannot bill for that day. So there is NO POINT in doing a PPS assessment on a Part A who admits to a facility and discharges to the acute the same day. Correct??
If so, this point is very unclear to MANY members of this listserv.
