was related to medical necessity of the one-time skilled
nurse visit, Cahaba explains. If the nurse opens the case

not billable unless the nurse also delivers a medically
necessary skilled nursing service.
Tip: If the skilled need for the nurse is observation

visit, Cahaba says. And dont forget that the therapist
can perform a SOC assessment. For the single MSW
visit, many of these denials are related to the medical
necessity of nursing and/or the MSW visit, Cahaba
reports. Routine evaluations for community resources
where no needs were previously identified would not be
considered a covered MSW service.
