Abstract: Based on a settlement agreement of the Weichardt vs. Leavitt class action suit, CMS-4105-F sets forth new requirements for how hospitals must notify Medicare beneficiaries who are hospital inpatients about their hospital discharge rights. Pursuant to sections 405.1206 and 422.622, hospitals and Medicare Advantage plans must deliver to beneficiaries and enrollees, who are appealing inpatient hospital discharges, a detailed notice providing the reasons for the discharge decision. Notice is required both for original Medicare beneficiaries and for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans and other Medicare health plans subject to the MA regulations.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of Medicare inpatient hospitals has decreased by 27 facilities. Since our 2013 PRA submission, the number of Medicare hospital discharges have increased by 2.4 million, from 12.4 million to 14.8 million; thus, the increase in discharge appeal requests by 9,663 is likely due to program growth and increased utilization of inpatient hospitalizations. This increase in the number of appeals requests results in a 9,663 hour increase in the annual hour burden (22,515 current hour burden estimate – 12,852 hour burden estimate in 2013).
