CMS Pub. 100-02, ch. 9, § 40.2.4
Special Modalities
A hospice may use chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other modalities for palliative
purposes if it determines that these services are needed. This determination is based on
the patient’s condition and the individual hospice’s care-giving philosophy. No
additional Medicare payment may be made regardless of the cost of the services.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
