New Hospital Visitation Rule Issued

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a new hospital visitation rule Wednesday that allows patients to designate their own visitors during a hospital stay, including their same-sex partners.

The new regulation, which will apply to any hospital that participates in Medicare or Medicaid, will go into effect approximately 60 days from tomorrow, when the it is likely to be posted in the Federal Register. More @ The Advocate
