N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 10 § 441.169 - Hospital boarder
An individual who receives lodging in the hospital but who is not an inpatient. In most hospitals, a small number of persons who are not patients and who are not hospital personnel or physicians may, nevertheless, be occasionally provided with room and board, often in "areas of the hospital where patients generally stay at least overnight". Most often this is arranged so that they can be near children or other members of the family who are ill.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
