- Abstract:
The article discusses basic Medicare eligibility and documentation requirements for skilled nursing facilities (SNF). In order to qualify for Prospective Payment System, SNF should get the required physician certification and recertification statements and retain such records. Nursing services and the conditions being treated in a SNF that originated during the qualifying hospital stay and for which the patient's Medicare Part A benefits are used should be documented when they are provided and received.
