I believe per the Medicare ruling that the letter of predictability has to
be signed before admission. I don't have the exact area to find the
documentation for this rule. That is what I have been taught over the
years.

Thank you for forwarding document. Am I correct in assuming this scenario?
Resident fxs hip. Goes to hospital. Has 3 day requisite stay. Returns
(for whatever reason) not a candidate for therapy. We send this letter to
the DOC who states that resident cannot tolerate therapy at present time.
We admit resident Medicaid/PP/etc. and when they are able to tolerate
therapy, we then start med A days?
