Is the time interval the same for Part A certifications, or does Medicare require patients under a Part A SNF stay be recertified every 30 days? Answer: Under Medicare Part A, the physician certification is for all of the services provided and is the responsibility of the facility to obtain. There is no separate requirement for therapy certification. The Part A timeframe for the initial certification is as soon as possible after admittance to the facility; recertification needs to be done by the 14 th day and then every 30 days after that.

Apply ice to the area around your eye. Apply a cold compress, washcloth filled with ice, or a bag of frozen vegetables to the swollen area in 10-minute intervals. 1  You should take 10-minute breaks in between each 10-minute application.2  Begin this treatment immediately and continue it for 24 to 48 hours. 3  Press on the skin around the eye, not on the eye itself.fter it steeps, dip a clean piece of soft cloth into the warm solution and gently press it onto the black eye. 1  This may help reduce the pain and restore coloring. 2  You could also grind 1 tsp (5 ml) of comfrey roots with 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) water to form a paste. 3  Do not apply comfrey root to your skin more than once a day.
