OBSERVATION SERVICES
Nursing documentation is essential for payment
Not
everyone in an inpatient bed is an inpatient. Some of these individuals
are actually admitted under outpatient observation status. The problem
is, staff nurses often don't distinguish between the two in their
documentation. Which means the hospital doesn't get paid for reimbursable
services provided to patients under observation. In other cases,
patients are placed under observation status when they shouldn't
be. Join us for an April 22 audio seminar that will focus on distinguishing
between inpatient and outpatient observation status, as well as
the nurse documentation required to support billing for observation
services. Click here,
or call MedLearn at 800-252-1578.
