25.2.2.3 Observation Status to Inpatient Admission
When a client's status changes from observation to inpatient admission, the date of the inpatient admission is the date the client was placed on observation status. This rule always applies regardless of the length of time the client was in observation (less than 24 hours) or whether the date of inpatient admission is the following day. All charges including the observation room are billed on the inpatient claim (type of bill [TOB] 111).
