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!

amoLucia 7,735 Posts Specializes in retired LTC. Feb 25, 2021 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.
