What is the timeframe for transitional care management services?
  1. Begins when the patient enters the hospital and ends 30 days after this date
  2. Begins when the patient enters the hospital and ends 29 days after their discharge from the hospital
  3. Begins on the day of discharge and ends 60 days after this date
  4. Begins on the day of discharge and ends 29 days after this date
Explanation
Answer: D - Transitional care management services begin on the day of discharge and continues for the following 29 days.
The timeframe for transitional care management has nothing to do with the date admitted to the hospital. This timeframe ends after 29 days, so subsequent time isn’t within the time guidelines for transitional care management services.
