emergency visit definition
emergency visit means visit occasioned by a verifiable emergency, such as serious illness, accident, or death of an inmate's immediate family member.
emergency visit means an urgent encounter requiring the immediate decision- making and medically necessary action to prevent death or any further disability for patients in health crises (including labor and delivery). Such medical conditions are manifested by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in placing the patient’s health in serious jeopardy, serious impairment to bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. In order to be considered urgent, the encounter must occur within seventy-two (72) hours from the onset of the presenting medical condition.
