The member’s medical record documentation for observation services must include a written order that clearly states, admit to observation. Additionally, such documentation should demonstrate that observation services are required by stating the specific problem, and the treatment and/or frequency of the skilled service expected to be provided. The designated observation service status, in general, will not exceed 24 hours.
