Lee Memorial Health System Operating Highlights
For the month ended May 31, 2016
Adjusted admits for the month ended May 31, 2016 are 11,503 which is 1.8% below budget. Actual inpatient admits for the month are 6,192 or 7.7% less than budget and actual patient days are 32,809 or 4.6% less than budget which resulted in an increase in length of stay to 5.30 days. Outpatient volumes are up significantly as seen in Emergency room visits which are 4.5% above budget at 18,165 and outpatient surgeries of 2,089 which are above budget by 13.1%. Net patient revenue for May reflects an $8.8 million or 7.1% favorable variance to budget. This favorable variance in net patient revenue is the result of a favorable rate variance of $11.1 million due to increase Case Mix Index to 1.62 vs. budget of 1.46 and better payer mix, offset by an unfavorable volume variance of $2.3 million. Net Patient Revenue per CMI adjusted admit for the month ended May 31, 2016 is $7,127 vs. budget of $7,237. Total operating expenses before depreciation and interest expense are 7.2% higher than budget. Salaries & Wages are 2.8% higher than budget, largely due to staff not flexing to the reduced volumes. Salaries, Wages & Benefits as a percent of Net Operating Revenue are 53.6% for May 2016 versus a budget of 55.6%. The actual hourly pay rate is $32.41 which is $0.46 lower than budget. Supply expense came in over budget by 9.3%; on a case mix adjusted admission basis the variance is also unfavorable at $1,357 actual vs. $1,351 budget. The majority of this variance was seen in drug expense which was over budget $0.9 million. Purchased services are over budget by $2.6 million, the majority of which was due to locum tenens being brought in to fill in for the shortage in coverage for our Hospitalist Program. Total operating costs per case mix adjusted admit is less than budget at $6,527 actual vs. $6,621, a 1.4% favorable variance. FTEs/AOB are higher than budget by 2.8% (5.53 actual vs. 5.38 budget) during May 2016. Productive FTE’s per adjusted daily admission were 5.7% higher than budget at 26.73 vs. a budget of 25.28, resulting in lower productivity than budgeted. The gain from operations is $5.3 million or 3.9% versus a budgeted gain of $5.1 million or 4.0%. Excess revenue over expenses is a gain of $9.5 million versus a budget of $10.8 million, resulting in $1.4 million negative variance. The majority of this negative variance is due to expenses for salaries, drug costs and contracts for locum tenens being higher than budgeted as mentioned above. For the month, Cash & Investments increased by $11.5 million to $974.9 million. Cash flow from Operations increased $16.8 million while working capital decreased by $5.3 million. Cash was reduced by $10.3 million for routine equipment replacement and $1.4 million for principal payments made during May on net borrowings. Days in Accounts Receivable decreased from 45.6 days in April to 44.6 days in May resulting in a source of cash of $9.7 million. Total Notes & Bonds payable on May 31, 2016 is $685.7 million resulting in the Cash to Debt ratio of 142.2%.

Lee Memorial Health System Operating Highlights
For the month ended June 30, 2016
Adjusted admits for the month ended June 30, 2016 are 11,339 which is 2.3% above budget. Actual inpatient admits for the month are 6,042 or 4.7% less than budget and actual patient days are 30,823 or 4.7% less than budget which resulted in length of stay of 5.10 days. Outpatient volumes are up significantly as we continue to see significant growth in short stays at 4,513 which are above budget by 91.9% and outpatient surgeries of 2,194 which are above budget by 20.1%. Net patient revenue for June reflects a $15.8 million or 13.5% favorable variance to budget. This favorable variance in net patient revenue is the result of a favorable rate variance of $13.1 million due to increase Case Mix Index to 1.55 vs. budget of 1.46 and better payer mix, coupled with a favorable volume variance of $2.7 million. Net Patient Revenue per CMI adjusted admit for the month ended June 30, 2016 is $7,564 vs. budget of $7,231. Total operating expenses before depreciation and interest expense are 12.7% higher than budget. Salaries & Wages are 4.3% higher than budget, largely due to staff not flexing to the reduced volumes. Salaries, Wages & Benefits as a percent of Net Operating Revenue are 51.3% for June 2016 versus a budget of 55.8%. The actual hourly pay rate is $33.04 which is $0.22 higher than budget. Supply expense came in over budget by 24.5%; on a case mix adjusted admission basis the variance is also unfavorable at $1,564 actual vs. $1,363 budget. The majority of this variance was seen in drug expense which was over budget $2.2 million. Purchased services are over budget by $4.1 million, the majority of which was due to locum tenens being brought in to fill in for the shortage in coverage for our Hospitalist Program. Total operating costs per case mix adjusted admit is greater than budget at $6,924 actual vs. $6,666, a 3.9% unfavorable variance. FTEs/AOB are higher than budget by 1.3% (5.50 actual vs. 5.42 budget) for June 2016. Productive FTE’s per adjusted daily admission were 0.8% higher than budget at 25.34 vs. a budget of 25.16, resulting in lower productivity than budgeted. The gain from operations is $6.6 million or 4.8% versus a budgeted gain of $3.8 million or 3.2%. Excess revenue over expenses is a gain of $11.9 million versus a budget of $9.6 million, resulting in $2.3 million positive variance. For the month, Cash & Investments increased by $29.7 million to $1,004.6 million. Cash flow from Operations and working capital increased $19.3 and $10.4 million, respectively. Cash was reduced by $16.3 million for routine equipment replacement and increased by $23.6 million for net borrowings. Days in Accounts Receivable decreased from 44.6 days in May to 43.8 days in June resulting in a source of cash of $10.4 million. Total Notes & Bonds payable on June 30, 2016 is $709.4 million resulting in the Cash to Debt ratio of 141.6%.

LEE MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS POLICY MANUAL no. 20.02C
supersedes no.20.02B --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- category: General Operations title: Conflict of Interest ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date Originated: 1/8/91
Reviewed/No Revision: 10/10/13, 8/25/16
Dates Revised: 10/23/92, 7/31/98, 7/26/02
Next Review Date: 8/25/19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: To affirm that Directors of Lee Memorial Health System, its officers, administrative staff, medical staff with administrative responsibility and employees are subject to the Florida Code of Ethics for public officers and employees, and other laws prohibiting financial conflicts of interest and to provide for a resolution of a conflict of interest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLICY: The laws prohibiting financial conflicts of interest shall be strictly enforced. Directors, officers, administrative staff, medical staff with administrative responsibility and employees shall be periodically informed of this policy. The Board Attorney shall be responsible for advising Directors. The Hospital’s Legal Services Department shall be responsible for disseminating general information, and for advising employees and the others listed regarding specific issues.
Florida law prohibiting conflicts of interest generally provides: 1. No officer or employee of a hospital, nor any other person, may pay or receive anything of value for
referral of a patient to a hospital or for medical services.
2. No public officer or employee shall accept anything of value which might influence him or her in the performance of official duties.
3. No public officer or employee shall derive a financial benefit from any transaction between any third party and the public agency for which the officer or employee works.
4. No public officer or employee shall enter into a financial arrangement (“do business”) with the public agency for which the officer or employee works. This includes the public officer or employee as owner or major shareholder of a firm or company which does business with the public agency. Exceptions exist for competitive bidding and “sole supplier” situations, if full disclosure is made.
5. Designated public officers and employees must file annual Financial Disclosure forms with the Supervisor of Elections.
The law of Public Agency and Hospital Conflicts of Interest is complex, and specific situations which are not clear infractions shall review with legal counsel. In uncertain cases, an opinion of the Florida Commission on Ethics can be obtained to provide direction.
Once this policy is printed, it is not considered a controlled document. Please review electronic version of this policy for the most current document.
20.02C – Conflict of Interest Page 2 of 2
So that the Board of Directors may address any possible conflict of interest, the following procedure will be followed: 1. If a conflict is known by a Director, the Director shall outline his or her conflict on the issue in a
meeting of the Board and will abstain from voting on that issue. The form (CE Form 8B Memorandum of Voting Conflict for County, Municipal, and Other Local Public Officers) required by law shall be filled out, signed and filed with corresponding minutes.
2. If a perceived conflict is brought to light and not disclosed in a meeting of the Board, any Director may request an opinion of legal counsel. An Ethics Commission opinion may be sought by any Director.

CMS Manual System, Pub. 100-02 Medicare Benefit Policy says …Observation care is a well-defined set of specific, clinically appropriate services, which include ongoing short-term treatment, assessment, and reassessment before a decision can be made regarding whether patients will require further treatment as hospital inpatients or if they are able to be discharged from the hospital.

OBS-to-Inpt: An outpatient observation patient may be progressed to inpatient status when it is determined the patient’s condition requires an inpatient level of care.
YESInpt-to-OBS (CODE 44):
Hospital utilization review committee, with concurrence from patient’s provider, can change the status if done before the patient is discharged and prior to submitting a bill/claim.
NOTE: This is an acknowledgement of an inappropriate initial placement
Observation status MUST be specifically stated in the order

Observation services can be provided anywhere in the hospital Example: Continuous monitoring (such as oximetry or
telemetry) can be provided in observation or inpatient status; consider overall severity of illness and intensity of services in determining admission status rather than any single or specific intervention.
Level of care based on severity of condition, foreseeable risks and intensity of services provided, not based on physical location of the bed, dictates placement status.
2 Midnight Benchmark
As initially devised by CMS, the 2 Midnight Benchmark is a prospective tool for physicians to use when determining the status in which to place a patient.
It has come to mean some other things, as well…
2 MN Benchmark
Per CMS: “For purposes of meeting
the 2-midnight benchmark, in deciding whether an inpatient admission
is warranted, the physician must assess whether the beneficiary requires hospital services and whether it is expected that such services will be required for 2 or more midnights. The decision to admit the beneficiary as an inpatient is a complex medical decision made by the physician in consideration of various factors, including the beneficiary’s age, disease processes, comorbidities, and the potential impact of sending the beneficiary home.”
Further, “If the beneficiary is expected to require medically necessary hospital services for 2 or more midnights, then the physician should order inpatient admission and Part A payment is generally appropriate per the 2-midnight benchmark. Except in cases involving services identified by CMS as inpatient-only, if the beneficiary is expected to require medically necessary hospital services for less than 2 midnights, then the beneficiary generally should remain an outpatient and Part A payment is generally inappropriate.”
Note: “The Two-Midnight rule does not prevent the physician from providing any service at any hospital, regardless of the expected duration of the service.”
Caveat:CMS and its contractors retain the option to review all cases and conclude whether the documentation is sufficient or not to support the medical necessity of an inpatient admission.
For this reason, we review cases for:• severity of condition• foreseeable risks• intensity of services provided• clinical information available to the attending
physician at the time the decision to place was actually made.
Abdominal Pain – non-specific Chest Pain / Acute Coronary Syndrome / Unstable
Angina Back Pain Gastrointestinal Bleeding with stable Vital Signs and
Hemoglobin >8.5 & Platelets >60K Gastroenteritis / Nausea / Vomiting Dehydration (uncomplicated) Deep Vein Thrombosis – uncomplicated Syncope – unexplained, orthostatic, uncomplicated
Inpatient if documented as likely / suspected as due to:
Known active cardiac disease (Congestive Heart Failure, Ischemic, Valvular)
Cardiovascular drug-induced Systolic Blood Pressure < 90 Pulse < 60, or High-degree AtrioVentricular-block
Observation if either: Unexplained and none of the
above, or Simple “vaso-vagal” or
“orthostatic”
Inpatient placement: consider when a patient has: Elevated Troponin ST elevation on EKG Myocardial Infarction or dynamic ST-T wave changes on
the EKG Hemodynamic instability Chest pain not responding to Nitroglycerin
Observation: consider when the patient has no EKG or enzyme changes, but the patient’s story suggests the possibility of acute cardiac ischemia (what’s your gut say?)
Complex Example:
Pt presents with chest pain while walking, and pain resolves in ER. Enzymes and EKG are normal and pain doesn’t recur.
Stress Test is abnormal, but patient remains pain-free

Obs or Inpt?
Observation or Inpatient?Part 2: Compliant Care for Bedded Hospital PatientsLee Memorial Health System – Board of Directors Meeting August 25, 2016Shelley C. Koltnow, Interim Chief Compliance Officer
Medicare’s Foundation Philosophy
Social Security Act enacted in August 1935 during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration to “create a system of transfer payments in which younger working people support older, retired people” (FDR). Paid by income tax
Entitlement began at age 65
In 1935, average life expectancy was 59.9 for males, 63.9 for females
Big Gap in Social Security – no reliable or consistent health insurance coverage for aged Americans. Cost of healthcare highest when in older years
Health of aged population generally poor
Medicare’s Foundation Philosophy Medicare Program in an amendment to the Social Security Act in July 1965
during the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ). Purpose: “To provide health insurance for those age 65 or older, those younger
than age 65 who have received social security disability benefits for more than 24 months, and those with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS - or Lou Gehrig’s Disease).”
According to President Johnson, “Medicare incorporates the best concepts of health economics, health insurance and health care. These are: Financing the health benefit for beneficiaries
Utilizing controls to assure no fraud, abuse or waste is paid for by the benefit
Quality of care
Methods for administration of payment to be fair and driven by best practices
Qualifications and licensure of providers and suppliers
Patient satisfaction / patient experience”
Medicare, like Social Security, is funded through income tax on working people which paid for those receiving Medicare (regressive tax)
How is Medicare Program Structured?
Modeled upon Social Security and the health insurance plans of the day, Medicare was structured with two parts: Part A – [Entitlement portion] Insurance to cover inpatient hospital services (short
and long term acute hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, inpatient rehabilitation hospital, some home health, and hospice benefits)
Part B – [Voluntary portion] covers physician services, outpatient hospital (including observation services) some additional home health, laboratory, and other services not covered by Part A.
Later, Medicare added two more voluntary parts: Part C (Medicare Advantage – managed care plans) Part D (Medicare prescription drug coverage)
Beneficiaries enroll in Part A around their 65th birthday and most pay no premium for their Part A coverage. They also can elect coverage and pay premiums for voluntary coverage under Parts B, C and D.
Enduring Principles of Medicare
LBJ also wanted to assure that Medicare would: Remain non-directive about health care while assuring such care would be of
sufficient quality and appropriateness for each beneficiary Be ‘medical’ and not ‘custodial’ Would safeguard each individual beneficiary’s cost-sharing through deductibles and
co-payments designed not to burden the beneficiary Not create any incentives to providers and suppliers to overuse a particular service or
benefit to gain profits Protect the funds that taxpayers paid for this benefit Solve the growing problem of caring for the health of aged Americans
Average life expectancy in 1965 – Men: 66.8 and Women 73.1. Medicare helped increase life expectancy for men by 12 years and women by 15 years.
Medicare’s basic philosophy has endured through the 51 years of its existence.
Medical Necessity – Lynchpin for Coverage Medicare coverage depends on whether the care is medically necessary for
the beneficiary and for the population for whom it is covered. “Not all hospital care is appropriate for Part A (inpatient) payment. When a Medicare
beneficiary arrives at a hospital in need of medical or surgical care, physicians or other qualified providers must decide if it is appropriate to admit the beneficiary as an inpatient or treat them as an outpatient.”
This Inpatient/Outpatient decision has significance for utilization of hospital resources, reimbursement, quality of care, beneficiary satisfaction and cost sharing (copay/deductible) and as such, is an element of compliance.
Medical Necessity – “Accepted healthcare services and supplies provided to beneficiaries appropriate to the evaluation and treatment of a disease, condition, illness or injury, and consistent with the applicable standard of care as applied to each individual beneficiary.”
Medical care decisions must not consider monetary benefit to the provider or supplier of care. (implications under the Anti-kickback statute, Stark, and False Claims Act and conflicts of interest). As such, this is an element of compliance.
Payment Differs Under Parts A and B Medicare pays differently for inpatient (Part A) and outpatient observation (Part
B) hospital stays. Part A pays for care prospectively based upon the individual’s diagnosis, procedures
and severity of illness.
Part B pays in a hybrid of prospective care (grouping into a primary service) and fee for service for a particular item, service or procedure.
Inpatient or outpatient status directly impacts the patient’s copay, deductible, cost of drugs (Part B does not cover self-administered drugs) and eligibility for Skilled Nursing care. As such this is an element of compliance.
Continued struggle to properly classify bedded patients as inpatients or observation patients - myriads of rules, criteria, guidance and other information.
Although there are no statutory time requirements for observation services, Medicare guidance and recent rules signal Medicare’s philosophy that observation should result in an admission to inpatient or discharge from the hospital in a relatively short time (24 – 36 hours, 48 hours at the outside).
Evolving Compliance Oversight Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 set forth
standards for submission of claims and privacy/security of electronic claims, as well as standard data sets.
Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) caused Medicare to reorganize its claim adjudication, replacing Fiscal Intermediaries (Part A claims) and Carriers (Part B claims) with a new system administered by regional Medicare A/B Administrative Contractors (A/B MACs).
Data mining was initiated by MACs to catch and eliminate Fraud, Waste and Abuse [along with starting intensified recoupment and correlating payment of related Part A and Part B claims].
After a demonstration project, Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs) were widely introduced in 2007 to identify errors in paid claims. From outset, RACs focused on medical necessity of short inpatient hospital stays. Paid on % of errors identified.
Compliance Programs Expectations that providers participating in Medicare and other
government programs will: Comply with applicable laws, regulations, guidance and sub-regulatory
information to administer care to beneficiaries and enrollees in government health insurance programs.
Monitor their operations to assure that they have identified, corrected, and prevented (where possible) errors, misconduct, and violations.
Report any overpayments or other misconduct and engage in immediate corrective action to prevent further misconduct.
Assure that employees, agents, volunteers, physicians, and contractors do not have past or present evidence of misconduct
Integrate an effective and evidence-based compliance program into their culture to assure that there is an ethical and patient-centered focus for the organization
Conditions of Participation for Hospitals Regulatory provisions applicable to all hospitals participating in Medicare include:
A qualified and credentialed medical staff 42 C.F.R 482.12 “Patients are admitted to the hospital only on recommendation of a licensed physician or
practitioner who is permitted by the State (and the hospital Medical Staff) to admit patients to the hospital.”
Utilization Review – hospitals paid under the prospective payment system must conduct utilization reviews during hospital stays, particularly the medical necessity of the stay. 42 C.F.R. 482.20 Review of services furnished by the hospital and by members of the medical staff to individuals
entitled to benefits under the Medicare and Medicaid Programs.”
Utilization Review Committee – must have two physicians w/o a conflict of interest related to utilization.
Review appropriateness and duration of hospital stay, including admission (reviews can be before, during and after the stay).
Intended to coordinate use of hospital resources with the attending physician's medical judgment and medical decision making, as Dr. Hart explained in his presentation.
Avoiding Fraud, Waste, Abuse Founding principles of Medicare still in place today:
No monetary inducements or benefit to provider beyond payment for appropriate care.
Medically necessary care. Quality care. Best interest of the beneficiary (patient experience/satisfaction).
Appropriate cost sharing for beneficiaries.
Fraud, Waste and Abuse and the False Claims Act Workhorse statute to combat – False Claims Act (FCA) (“Lincoln’s Law”).
Whistleblower provisions of FCA. Implicated by decisions about Inpatient or Observation status in a hospital bed. Misconduct and self-interest can undermine the principles above.
Health Management Associates Case Study
History and Allegations
HMA operated 71 hospitals in 15 states and was based in Naples, FL
In 2012, 8 whistleblower suits under the False Claims Act were filed alleging:
“HMA billed federal health care programs for medically unnecessary inpatient admissions from the emergency departments at HMA hospitals…”
“Former CEO directed HMA’s corporate practice of pressuring emergency department physicians and hospital administrators to raise inpatient admission rates regardless of medical necessity…”
HMA corporate officers at the CEO’s direction, “exerted significant pressure on doctors in the emergency departments to admit patients who could have been placed in observation, treated as outpatients, or discharged, and that this resulted in submission of inflated or false claims to the federal health care programs.”
History and Allegations “HMA rewarded physicians for these admissions with bonuses and other
incentives, paying kickbacks for referrals in violation of the Anti-Kickback statute (which prohibits exchange of benefits for referrals) and the Stark law (which prohibits physician self-referrals with an entity that compensates them or in which they hold ownership interest).”
Specifically involved HMA hospitals in Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Illinois, Florida, South Carolina.
HMA hospital in Laredo, TX deliberately admitted beneficiaries as inpatients for outpatient procedures and surgeries in violation of the FCA, AKS and Stark laws.
HMA CEO was alleged to have promoted this misconduct and the complaints included counts against him personally
Other executives were alleged to have obstructed justice during the investigation of the allegations by the whistleblowers.
Settlement HMA was acquired by Community Health Systems, out of Frankfort, KY.
In 2015, the Department of Justice and CMS settled the whistleblower suits by Settled the False Claims Suits of HMA regarding improper inpatient admissions for
$98.15 million
Entered into a 5-year Corporate Integrity Agreement in exchange for not being excluded from Medicare
Independent Review Organization (IRO) required – not allowed cost for cost report
Cost of CIA varies but meeting its requirements could exceed 10 million per year for such a large organization.
Conclusion Compliance with requirements for Inpatient and Outpatient status for
bedded hospital patients involves: Complex medical judgment and medical decision making by qualified
physicians and providers who are authorized to admit patients to the hospital;
Support of the mandatory utilization review function of the hospital;
Support from the revenue cycle team and compliance department;
Education and training as well as continuing communication with patients and their families;
Continued focus on processes and documentation of the elements (per Dr. Hart’s presentation)

Are You a Hospital Inpatient or Outpatient? If You Have Medicare – Ask!
Did you know that even if you stay in a hospital overnight, you might still be considered an “outpatient?” Your hospital status (whether the hospital considers you an “inpatient” or “outpatient”) affects how much you pay for hospital services (like X-rays, drugs, and lab tests) and may also affect whether Medicare will cover care you get in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) following your hospital stay. You’re an inpatient starting when you’re formally admitted to a hospital with a doctor’s order. The day before you’re discharged is your last inpatient day. You’re an outpatient if you’re getting emergency department services, observation services, outpatient surgery, lab tests, X-rays, or any other hospital services, and the doctor hasn’t written an order to admit you to a hospital as an inpatient. In these cases, you’re an outpatient even if you spend the night at the hospital. Note: Observation services are hospital outpatient services given to help the doctor decide if the patient needs to be admitted as an inpatient or can be discharged. Observation services may be given in the emergency department or another area of the hospital. The decision for inpatient hospital admission is a complex medical decision based on your doctor’s judgment and your need for medically necessary hospital care. An inpatient admission is generally appropriate when you’re expected to need 2 or more midnights of medically necessary hospital care, but your doctor must order such admission and the hospital must formally admit you in order for you to become an inpatient. Read on to understand the differences in Original Medicare coverage for hospital inpatients and outpatients, and how these rules apply to some common situations. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO), your costs and coverage may be different. Check with your plan.

Here are some common hospital situations and a description of how Medicare will pay. Remember, you pay deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.
Situation Inpatient or Outpatient Part A pays Part B pays
You’re in the emergency department (ED) (also known as the emergency room or “ER”) and then you’re formally admitted to the hospital with a doctor’s order.
Outpatient until you’re formally admitted as an inpatient based on your doctor’s order. Inpatient following such admission.
Your inpatient hospital stay
Your doctor services
You visit the ED and are sent to the intensive care unit (ICU) for close monitoring. Your doctor expects you to be sent home the next morning unless your condition worsens. Your condition resolves and you’re sent home the next day.
Outpatient Nothing Your doctor services
You come to the ED with chest pain and the hospital keeps you for 2 nights. One night is spent in observation and the doctor writes an order for inpatient admission on the second day.
Outpatient until you’re formally admitted as an inpatient based on your doctor’s order. Inpatient following such admission.
Your inpatient hospital stay
Doctor services and hospital outpatient services (for example, ED visit, observation services, lab tests, or EKGs)
You go to a hospital for outpatient surgery, but they keep you overnight for high blood pressure. Your doctor doesn’t write an order to admit you as an inpatient. You go home the next day.
Outpatient Nothing Doctor services and hospital outpatient services (for example, surgery, lab tests, or intravenous medicines)
Your doctor writes an order for you to be admitted as an inpatient, and the hospital later tells you it’s changing your hospital status to outpatient. Your doctor must agree, and the hospital must tell you in writing – while you’re still a hospital patient before you’re discharged – that your hospital status changed.
Outpatient Nothing Doctor services and hospital outpatient services
Remember: Even if you stay overnight in a regular hospital bed, you might be an outpatient. Ask the doctor or hospital.

How would my hospital status affect the way Medicare covers my care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF)? Medicare will only cover care you get in a SNF if you first have a “qualifying inpatient hospital stay.” • Aqualifyinginpatienthospitalstaymeansyou’vebeenahospital inpatient (you were
formally admitted to the hospital after your doctor writes an inpatient admission order) for at least 3 days in a row (counting the day you were admitted as an inpatient, but not counting the day of your discharge).
• Ifyoudon’thavea3-dayinpatienthospitalstayandyouneedcareafteryourdischargefrom a hospital, ask if you can get care in other settings (like home health care) or if any other programs (like Medicaid or Veterans’ benefits) can cover your SNF care. Always ask your doctor or hospital staff if Medicare will cover your SNF stay.
How would hospital observation services affect my SNF coverage? Your doctor may order “observation services” to help decide whether you need to be admitted to a hospital as an inpatient or can be discharged. During the time you’re getting observation services in a hospital, you’re considered an outpatient. This means you can’t count this time towards the 3-day inpatient hospital stay needed for Medicare to cover your SNF stay. For more information about how Medicare covers care in a SNF, visit Medicare.gov/publications to view the booklet “Medicare Coverage of Skilled Nursing Facility Care.”Here are some common hospital situations that may affect your SNF coverage:
Situation Is your SNF stay covered?You came to the ED and were formally admitted to the hospital with a doctor’s order as an inpatient for 3 days. You were discharged on the 4th day.
Yes. You met the 3-day inpatient hospital stay requirement for a covered SNF stay.
You came to the ED and spent one day getting observation services. Then, you were formally admitted to the hospital as an inpatient for 2 more days.
No. Even though you spent 3 days in the hospital, you were considered an outpatient while getting ED and observation services. These days don’t count toward the 3-day inpatient hospital stay requirement.
Remember: Any days you spend in a hospital as an outpatient (before you’re formally admitted as an inpatient based on the doctor’s order) aren’t counted as inpatient days. An inpatient stay begins on the day you’re formally admitted to a hospital with a doctor’s order. That’s your first inpatient day. The day of discharge doesn’t count as an inpatient day.

1. What is outpatient observation?
Observation is a special service or status that allows physicians to place a patient in an acute care setting, within the hospital, for a limited amount of time to determine the need for inpatient admission. The patient will receive periodic monitoring by the hospital’s nursing staff while in observation.
2. What is the difference in billing?
Observation stay is billed as an outpatient service (under Medicare, this would be Part B).
3. What kind of problems do people have that would make observation appropriate?
There are many types of clinical problems that would support the need for observation, such as symptoms that can usually be resolved within 24-48 hours or when the
need for admission is unclear. It is the intent of the Medicare program to allow a physician more time to evaluate/treat a patient and make a decision to admit or discharge. Observation generally does not exceed 24 hours and never (practically speaking) exceeds 48 hours.
4. What are some examples of these problems?
Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, fever, and some types of shortness of breath
and chest pain.
5. What is meant by a “limited amount
of time”?
Observation is only appropriate for short time periods. Medicare allows 24-48 hours.
6. What happens at the end of the “specified
amount of time”? Typically your physician will decide whether to
discharge you to home or admit you as an inpatient.
7. What if my physician decides my
condition requires acute inpatient care?
When that determination is made, your physician must then write an order to convert
your outpatient observation stay to an inpatient admission.
8. What if my physician decides that I do
not require acute inpatient care?
Your physician will “discharge” you and arrange for your care to be followed up on an
outpatient basis.
9. Can I be placed into outpatient observation after undergoing an outpatient surgical procedure?
Procedures have a routine 4 to 6 hours of recovery associated with them. However, should you experience a post-operative or post-procedural complication then your physician may place you into observation to monitor you or admit you as an inpatient.
10. What type of post-surgical condition may warrant further evaluation in” outpatient observation”?
Inability to urinate
Inability to keep liquids down thus
requiring IV hydration
Inability to control pain
Unexpected surgical bleeding
Unstable vital signs
Inability to safely ambulate after spinal
anesthesia
Unusual reaction to the surgical procedure or anesthesia (e.g.
difficulty awakening from anesthesia, drug reaction, or other post-surgical complication).
11. If I desire to spend the night
after my outpatient surgery, will my stay be covered?
You may stay overnight after an outpatient procedure only if your physician determines that it is medically necessary for you to stay. Observation services are not to be used for the convenience of the hospital physician, patient, or their families. For example, the inability to arrange transportation home does not necessitate an overnight stay.
12. Can my physician order observation services before the procedure is performed?
No. the routine preparation before a test or procedure is not considered to be an observation service. Observation services should only be ordered after the procedure and only after a routine recovery period has revealed a complication that would require additional time for monitoring and treatment.
13. If my physician places me in observation, how does this affect my out-of-pocket costs?
Since observation is an outpatient service, any outpatient coinsurance will apply.
Medicare beneficiaries will be responsible for any “self administrable” medications. This means any medications, which you could give yourself if you were at home,
such as pills and creams, are not-covered items on an outpatient bill.
