I thought that was the regulation for Inpatient Rehab and Inpatient Psych.

It has to do with Medicare. If the patient has Medicare as their primary insurance, and they return within 72 hours, they have to be given the same account number for billing purposes. Any other primary insurance carrier, and the patient is given a new account. I'll ask around to see if there is something official on that.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== 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, Tim Brady Director of Information Systems Mt.
