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.
