Re: can this resident be PPS?

[DenverRN322SK]

as long as the rehab (pps) dx is NOT related to the "terminal" dx in any way, your resident should be eligible for MCR A services...as long as they qualify under the regular guidelines as well...;-)     it is true that hospice is paid for under MCR A but EXAMPLE....if your resident were on hospice and they fell and broke a hip (God forbid),  when they came out of the hospital (after 3-day stay), they would be eligible for rehab services...hope this helps
