Should you be taken to the hospital & told you have to stay over night----before you sign in Know the difference between the wording of "Admitted" vs "Under Observation" before signing anything.
I had received a mail pertaining to this about a week ago stating Insurance Company would not be covering expenses IF Hospital papers state---- "Under Observation. "
Now this has happened to someone I know locally. This person was taken to the hospital ER for seizures. They stayed there for 3 days having various test done. They have ample Health Ins. plus Medicare.
Now the family finds ---she wasn't ADMITTED , although staying there 3 days, but rather------" UNDER OBSERVATION. It's their
understanding they will now have to pay for those 3 days in the hospital !!
Wondering if this has happened to anyone else ?
