I've been having issues with getting paid when a patient is admitted to our hospital for Inpatient/Observation and their condition changes for the worse requiring them to be transferred to another facility such as Virginia Mason, Yakima Regional, etc. I thought that I was to bill the same day admit/discharge code if it was the same day, but I'm getting denials for those and on appealing they are still denied. What is the appropriate way to bill these services?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
