How does the department pay the receiving hospital for a transfer case?
The hospital receiving a transfer will be paid according to the department's review of the case. If the receiving hospital's stay is a diagnosis-related-group (DRG) paid by the department, then the hospital will receive the appropriate per case and outlier payments. If the case is not a DRG paid by the department, then the hospital is paid using applicable percent of allowed charges (POAC) factor or per diem rates.
