When should glasses appropriately be given to long term resident in a skilled nursing facility? The answer is simple when seeing each resident case by case basis. If the resident came into the facility wearing glasses chances are they will continue wearing them. However, it has been seen over and over, cognitively impaired residents are unable to remember to use them or they lose them. A careful assessment is needed....not a "Carte Blanche" approach when determining when glasses are helpful. Aside from limiting reimbursement rates from both Medicare and Medicaid agencies, Medical Necessity should be the integrity by the Provider delivering the service.

Standard of Care in skilled nursing facilities sometimes requires referrals out of the building for testing that Medicare does not cover inside the home These tests are vital for obtaining diagnosis and treatment plan. Better to be safe than sorry.
