Description
The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (Hospital) appeals from the July 16, 1991 order of the Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA), Department of Public Welfare (DPW) which adopted the hearing officers recommendation to deny the Hospitals appeal from a decision of DPWs Office of Medical Assistance, Bureau of Quality Assurance. Issues raised for review are whether DPWs medical assistance regulations require that written physician orders for medical services must be included in a patients medical record where there is no dispute that such services were medically necessary; and whether DPWs actions are barred by either laches or equitable estoppel. For the following reasons, OHAs order is reversed.
