Ask the doctor or hospital. You may get a Medicare Outpatient Observation Notice (MOON) that lets you know if youâre an inpatient or outpatient in a hospital or critical access hospital. You must get this notice if you're getting outpatient observation services for at least 24 hours.
Observation status and transfers of care A hospitalist sees a patient admitted to observation for two days, but then decides to admit the patient to inpatient status. The hospitalist references the history and physical exam from his note for the initial observation visit to support billing initial hospital care. Is this OK? I know that Medicare guidelines specify that a previous review of systems (ROS) and past, family and social history (PFSH) can be referenced in a note by stating the date and location that those occurred in the medical record.
