>> It explicitly states that auditors won't be allowed to review inpatient admissions for 0 or 1 midnight for a 6 month period. But that doesn't suggest, in any way, that hospitals shouldn't comply. Facilities rarely are audited on such items, yet they do their best to comply. I work with many Part B practices, and many have expressed paranoia at some time or another but I've yet to hear of one facing an actual Medicare audit (Medicaid is different). Medicare hosts seminars constantly that managers attend and it is preached to them about how if they're audited the consequences can be great. So, that there could be a temporary window during which audits wouldn't occur would seldom filter down to the people making admission decisions. These people try to comply with untold volumes of regulations and they're probably not going to modify their behavior over a six month amnesty.
