9.15.2016 Direct Transfers In a “direct transfer,” the discharge date from one inpatient setting and the admission date to a second inpatient setting are one calendar day apart or less. May the admission date from the second inpatient setting take place on the day before the discharge date from the first setting?

No. To be considered a direct transfer, the admission date for the second stay must be on the same date of service or one day after the discharge date from the first stay.
