Can you have a patient transfer between psychiatric hospitals?

Sure: If a psychiatric hospital has some expertise that another one does not and the patient needs that expertise, then you can transfer a patient between hospitals.

Transfer: You have the right to transfer if your insurance allows it or you can pay cash and the other hospital will accept you.
