The rules say that an inpatient admission is generally appropriate when the admitting physician expects the
patient to need hospital care that crosses at least two midnights. The expectation should be based on such
complex medical factors as medical history, the severity of signs and symptoms, current medical needs, and
medical risk. The factors must be documented in the medical record.
If an unforeseen event, such as a patient's death or transfer, results in a shorter stay, the patient may be
considered to be treated as an inpatient. An inpatient admission for a surgical procedure listed by Medicare as
"inpatient only" is generally appropriate, regardless of the length of stay. An inpatient admission may be
appropriate if the admitting physician expects a patient to require hospital care for only a limited period of
time. The decision to admit as an inpatient must be based on the clinical judgment of the physician and must be
supported by the medical record. You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 412.3.

The rules say that a Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Database (MPFSDB) Status Indicator of B indicates that payment for covered services is always bundled into payment for other services not specified. There will be no payment amounts for these codes and no separate payment is ever made. When these services are covered, payment for them is subsumed by the payment for the services to which they are incident (an example is a telephone call from a hospital nurse regarding care of a patient). You can find this rule in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Internet Only Manual, Publication 100-04, Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 23, Section 30.2.2.

The rules say that plans must pay for a medical service or item if regular Medicare would pay for it in this case.
You can find this rule at 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.101.
The rules say that plans can restrict members to using contract providers except for emergency care (including
ambulance services), out-of-area urgently needed care, post-stabilization care, and pre-approved care. You can
find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.112(a)(9).
The rules say that a Medicare plan must pay for emergency care regardless of whether the care is provided by a
contract provider or a non-contract provider. Emergency care ends when the patient is stabilized.
Post-stabilization care is care that is administered to maintain, improve, or resolve the enrollee's stabilized
condition. Plans must provide or pay for necessary post-stabilization care. When post-stabilization care is
obtained from a non-contract provider, approval is required from the plan. However, the requirement for pre-
approval does not apply if:
1. The Plan does not respond to a request for pre-approval within one hour,
2. The Plan cannot be contacted, or
3. The Plan representative and the treating physician cannot reach an agreement concerning the enrollee's care
and a plan physician is not available for consultation.
You can find this rule at 42 CFR Section 422.113(c).
