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.
