Hi, 

we have a patient who admitted and left AMA within 4  hours.  The only thing she would let us do is take her vital signs, is an entry and then a discharge required?  She has Blue Cross Medicare HMO.

Thanks!

I took a guess, and said YES.

As per usual, Talino, you are so informative.

I'm lucky I even know how to spell out MDS! I did it soooooo many years ago. It's all pretty much a foreign language to me now. That's why I said I was guessing.

I am impressed with you folk who decipher thru it.

And Talino is THE expert par excellence here.
