Transfer Agreements

30.2 - Transfer Agreements (Rev. 114, Issued: 03-16-18, Effective: 06-19-18, Implementation: 06-19-18) To participate in the program, a SNF must have a written transfer agreement with one or more participating hospitals (see §10.1 of this chapter) providing for the transfer of patients between the hospital and the SNF, and for the interchange of medical and other information. If an otherwise qualified SNF has attempted in good faith, but without success, to enter into a transfer agreement, this requirement may be waived by the State agency. (See 42 CFR 483.70(j) for the detailed requirements for transfer agreements.)
