Answer to Provider Question: 

1) The recertification would not be needed (due to no billable visits). A transfer would be needed (Code 6, Transferred to an Inpatient Facility- patient not discharged from agency if the patient was admitted to the hospital greater than 24 hours prior to dying, or Code 8, Death at home, if the patient died within 24 hours of being admitted to the hospital) and if the transfer was a code 6, then a discharge would also be required.
