Outpatient
An
individual (patient) who receives health care services
(such as surgery) on an outpatient basis, meaning
they do not stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient
facility. Many insurance companies have identified
a list of tests and procedures (including surgery)
that will not be covered (paid for) unless they
are performed on an outpatient basis. The term outpatient
is also used synonymously with ambulatory to describe
health care facilities where procedures are performed. |
