This happened to us once and we had to "eat" the bill. Michelle ----- Original Message ----- From: MDS Lady To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 10:30 AM Subject: Billing question We had a resident admitted thinking we had the 3 day hospital stay. On investigation we discovered that one of the nights was under observation, not as inpatient.   We brought the resident in as Medicare, all paper work completed, and the next day is when we discovered the error.   Can we bill Medicaid for the day or since it was our error does the facility have to accept the day as a loss?   Please include documentation.   Thx in advance!
