When you are admitted to the hospital, depending on how severe your condition is and the level of medical treatment you require, these will both determine the appropriate level of care to which you are assigned. The process of determining level of care helps us comply with Medicare, Medicaid, managed care plans and commercial payer regulations related to observation or inpatient status.
Being designated as an inpatient or as under observation does not affect the quality of care you receive; however, it may have billing and discharge planning implications.
To request the Medicare & You Handbook call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) or visit www.medicare.gov/Publications/
You may also contact your insurance plan’s member services department.
Case managers, also known as social workers, will assist you and your family in developing and coordinating a discharge plan when it is time for you to leave the hospital. The plan is based on your needs, preferences, insurance benefits and recommendations from your health care team.
