======================================

Can anyone tell me or point me to a regulation regarding a patient who
leaves one in-patient facility to another in-patient facility and then
returns to the original facility?  

We frequently have patients who leave our facility for a surgery at
another in-patient facility and then return to our facility.  Right now
we treat these as LOA patients, rather than a discharge and new
admission, if they return to us within 3 days.  I am arguing that this
is not correct, but can not find any regulation that spells it out.

Any information is appreciated,
