> My administrator has asked that I put this to the group: when we discharge someone
> to the hospital and they are admitted, who pays for the cost of transportation to
> the hospital? If they go out on the 5th, the last covered day is the 4th and we
> cannot bill for the 5th, as the hospital bills for that day. He doesn't feel that
> the facility should pay for the trip since we are not getting reimbursed at whatever
> the RUG level is for that day. I know that if we send someone to E.R. and they are
> not admitted and return to us we bear the cost. How do other facilities handle
> this? Thanks in advance.
