In the ED setting, if a patient is seen by the ED provider at 11:00pm on one date, for example January 10, then the ED provider decides to place the patient into observation status in the ED at 12:30pm the next calendar day, January 11, does the service date for observation care reflect January 11 rather than the 10th?

Thank you!
 
It would reflect the 11th/ the date of the actual order. If the order states it start at 0030 then it would qualify for the 11th.











Thank You,
