Law enforcement must decide. The vast majority of time patients who lack the capacity to make decisions don't try to leave the hospital AMA, so that's a very rare situation. If I feel the patient is capable of making their own decision to leave, they can leave at any time.
Often, the nurses will have the patient sign a form for AMA discharge. I have no idea what the form says or what its purpose is in a court of law. Many doctors and nurses falsely believe that their responsibility for safe patient discharge ends as soon as a patient makes a decision not continue their stay in a hospital against the advice ...
There was a time that if a patient left against medical advice, they were asked to sign a form and were then simply allowed to leave. Since the physician did not approve their discharge, they were not provided prescriptions or follow up instructions and were left to fend for themselves.

Payers may ask to see documentation for both encounters to determine why the physicians should be paid separately. Consults.
Also, for Medicare patients, the hospitalist should attach modifier “-Al” to the initial visit code to indicate that he or she is the admitting physician. If the claim is still being denied, you may need to make an appeal and justify the service.
For Medicare patients not kept eight hours or more, bill using observation admission codes (99218-99220). Q: Sometimes, one of our hospitalists sees a patient in the ED and determines that the patient should be admitted but transferred to another facility within our system.
