Okay ... here's my cookie cutter scenario ...
Day 1 - Admitted to Observation
Day 2 - Still in Observation
Day 3 - Status Changed to Inpatient
(Do you bill for Inpatient Admission here?)
Day 4 - Subsequent Care
Day 5 - Inpatient Discharge
I'm thinking if the status changed to inpatient, you only bill the inpatient stay ... I can't seem to find documentation on this ... it's been a rough day!
Thoughts??
