Hello Everyone,
I have a
question that I need an answer for ASAP. It relates to billing. I
had a resident whom I did a 30 day PPS with ARD of 3/30/04. Her rug level
was a RMB. She was seen by OT and PT for a total of 5 days for 175
minutes. On 4/2/04 Rehab informed me that they were making that her last
rehab day because her condition had deteriotated and her family didn't want her
to continue to receive therapy. She did not receive any therapy minutes
for 4/1/04 or 4/2/04. I con't her stay on Med A because she was receiving
IV fluids to keep her hydrated. Her last day on Med A was 4/12/04 and she
switched to hospice. Now my question - Should I have done an OMRA before
that? How do we bill therapy? They are saying that we should pay
them at the medium rate for the 2 days even though no minutes were
obtained. Any help is appreciated. I am desperite for
answers!
