I have a Veterinerian question.

8. I agree. But such human patients routinely go home on their own. I almost never see them in the ER.

afterwards, which insurers use to justify the practice. The facility is telling them to have someone stay with them for their own liability reasons. But, as I said, if they meet a higher risk profile they would have a night's stay. Few end up meeting those criteria though and i don't see them in the ER, so arguably the risk is sufficiently low.

I see a lot of people argue with insurers over this. I see few succeed. And, the onus is on the patient to find someone to stay with them. Many do not have anyone to do so. Increasingly that is the case.
