I think it should be signed before the
admission.

Subject: Re: Question Re: letter of predictability
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.
We have a scenario right now where resident has FX ankle, NWB on skilled therapy for transfers, balance, ADL's, etc. Now at max level but want to be able to pick up again in 6-8 weeks when wt bearing. Does the letter of predictability apply here or does it have to be done prior to admission to the SNF? Thanks for your help
