I was wondering how everyone else out there defines One Day IP Stays. We define them as:
1. TOB = 111
2. LOS = 1 or LOS = 0
3. DRG = Must be coded.
4. Room Charge = At least one room charge.
I would like to get anyone else's thoughts as well as if anyone has any scenarios where they have a Ins. Payer that sets a guideline on how they define a ODS and you have to meet that guideline in order to get the actual contracted rate for a ODS. Thanks.
