Did anyone else read the HBM December 2017 issue that states on page 26 that the correct DOS for a multi day procedure is the date of conclusion?
The example given on the test yourself was : Start 1135pm on Oct 31 / End 150am on Nov 1

Normally, I would have chosen the DOS to be 10/31; however per this article (& test) it should be 11/1.

What are you using? The date of starting time or the date of end time?

This totally blew my 22 years of experience out of the water. Have I been mis-informed for all these years? :confused:
 
I thought it was only a proposed rule and it didn’t ever change from the usual.. dos is the beginning date... if I’m remembering correctly
