Does doctor have to transfer a hospitalized patient?
Yes and no. The doctor is employed by the patient or his representative. If a patient decides to employ a different doctor then that new doctor can take over care of the patient whenever he or she chooses to do so (the new doc does not have to accept the patient). If that new doctor is at a different facility (hospital or nursing home) and agrees to accept the transfer then the patient can compel a transfer. The vast majority of times the old doctor and the transferring facility will cooperate and assist in this process, however, they do not need to do so. They can leave it up to the patient to find and arrange for the accepting doctor and facility and to arrange transport. Also, the transport may or may not be covered by insurance depending on the situation. So yes, if a patient wants to leave one facility and go to another or merely switch doctors he or she has the right to do so. But no, the current doctor is under no obligation to do this for the patient or even be helpful.
