I’ve searched around but can’t find any definitive information on this and one of my docs asked me for some clarification. Does any one know of any guidelines for a readmission to a nursing home? Specifically, my doc was asking, if an LTC NF patient goes out somewhere, say the hospital, and comes back to the nursing home-is there a specific amount of time that would need to have passed for him to bill an H&P as opposed to a follow up visit? I see rules and regulations regarding the facility billing, but nothing definitive about physician billing when it comes to readmissions. If anyone has any guidance, it would be greatly appreciated!
