you would decertify the patient and then do a significant change IF ONE OCCURRED.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Julie Thomas Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 3:53 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: 14 day If you do a 5 day that sets your level of care for 14 days you cannot claim the entire fourteen days if the resident's needs do not remain skilled for 14 days, right? Another words, you might have 14 days certified but if the resident no longer requires skilled services after 6 then you discharge or do a Sig change for a reduced RUG?
