    Inpatient criteria disclosure
    Is it against the law for my hospital to give me a copy, or tell me verbally, of the criteria they use to determine the status of a hospitalized patient i.e. inpatient, outpatient, observation etc.

    No, they are explaining procedure not mentioning patients names. How else could they inform you?
