Client census

1. A daily census record must be maintained by the center. Any day for which services are provided or payment is ordinarily sought for an available bed must be counted as a client day. The day of admission or death must be counted. The day of discharge must be counted if payment is sought for that day. No payment may be sought from the department for the day of discharge. No payment may be sought from the department for the rehabilitation portion of the rate for any day in which the resident was not in the facility. 2. The daily census records must include: a. Identification of the client; b. Entries for all days. Entries may not be made just by exception; and c. Identification of type of day, i.e., in-house or hospital day.
