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.
We estimate that hospitals and
CAHs will deliver 14,087,086 notices, annually (14,042,374 IMs +
44,712 DNDs). This represents a decrease of 3,655,717 from our last
collection. This is likely due to consequences of the pandemic.
This resulted in a decrease of -05,612 in burden hours.
