Outpatient: A patient who is not hospitalized, but instead comes to a physician?s office, clinic, or day surgery office for treatment.
You're an outpatient if you're getting emergency department services, observation
services, outpatient surgery, lab tests, or X-rays, and the doctor hasn't written an
order to admit you to the hospital as an inpatient. In these cases, you're an
outpatient even if you spend the night at the hospital. As long as you do spend more then 23 hours 59 min and 59 seconds in the hospital.
