I have a situation regarding a resident. We admitted her from home in
2000 to a non Medicare A bed. At time of admission she had a PEG tube and
eating oral diet. The amount of tube feeding did not meet skilled
criteria. She was supposed to be a respite stay for 2 weeks but ended up
staying. Anyway, she ended up with tube feeding for 100% nutrition.
She has been in facility since 2000 with no hospital stay. She currently
was d/c'd to hospital for pneumonia. My DON thinks that we would be able
to skill her for tube feeding as she never used her Med A days after first
inserted. I am inclined to think no since she has not had a 60 break in
spell of illness. What is right? Thanks
Michelle
