You need to show the manual to the
surveyor where it defines bedfast. see page 3-112. " Resident is in bed or a
recliner for 22 hours or more a day." Show them the explanation for G6a and you
should be okay. Just make sure the resident is care planned for all the
implications of being bedfast. Good luck

I have a question on the coding of bedfast in
section G. I have a resident with MS who gets out of bed daily in her
recliner chair(lazy boy type chair) in her room. She never comes out of
her room except to get her shower once a week. I have her coded as
bedfast. We have a survey team here now and two of them are telling me
that she is not bedfast. They said that because she is getting out of
bed more than 3 hours 3 days a week than I cannot classify her as
bedfast. Am I coding this incorrectly?
