"Inpatient" means a person who has been admitted to a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or intermediate care facility for bed occupancy for purposes of receiving inpatient services. A person is considered an inpatient when he is formally admitted as an inpatient with the expectation that he will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed, even though it later develops that he can be discharged or that he is transferred to another facility and does not actually use a bed overnight.
