broken femur about a month ago then had to go back into the surgery beginning of July because x ray showed screws were not holding.

Have a resident who was on hospice went to the hospital for surgery had 3 midnight stay family wanted her medicare for pt/ot, resident returned to facility on 7/5 ot evaluated on 7/5, resident did not have therapy on the weekend 7/6 and 7/7, monday resident tells family she does not want to do therapy wants to go back on hospice. so resident goes back on hospice 7/8. can i do a 5day on this resident? does the resident go back to private pay dating back to 7/5. i dont see how i can skill this resident for medicare.

i would like on to [email protected]

i need to know if a medicare patient goes home before the 14th day do I still do an admission assessment or just a 5 day??? I am new to this and have been told different things and can not find this in the manual.
