Abstract: For all Medicare beneficiaries, hospitals must deliver valid, written notice of a beneficiary's rights as a hospital inpatient, including discharge appeal rights. The hospital must use a standardized notice, as specified by CMS. This is satisfied by IM delivery. When a QIO notifies a hospital that a beneficiary has requested an expedited discharge, the hospital must deliver a detailed notice to the beneficiary as soon as possible but no later than noon of the day after the QIO's notification. This is satisfied by DND delivery.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Increase to total burden is due to the merger of CMS-193 (OMB# 0938-0692) and CMS-10065 (OMB# 0938-1019). Also an increased number of discharge appeal requests is responsible for the increase in our estimated burden of the DND. Reasons for the increases have been attributed to more accurate reporting of the number of discharge appeals requested by beneficiaries and enrollees.
