Hi,
I have a question regarding patients that were admitted to the hospital for inpatient or observation status and then end up being transferred to another hospital. So far, I have never coded a hospital discharge for the day of the transfer because the patient is not truly discharged, only transferred. I have looked in the CPT code book, but there is no specific explanation that I can find on how to code.

Thanks to anyone answering me!
