CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 3, § 170.1.2
Revocation of RNHCI Election
Under §1821(b)(3), a beneficiary may revoke an election in writing or by receiving
nonexcepted medical care. Once an election has been revoked, Medicare payment cannot
be made to an RNHCI unless a new valid election is filed. The RNHCI revocation does
not interfere with the beneficiary’s ability to seek other Medicare services within the limits
of his/her Medicare coverage. Multiple revocations may affect the beneficiary’s ability to
access the RNHCI benefit in the future (see Pub. 100-02, Medicare Benefit Policy
Manual, Chapter 1, Section 130.2.2).
Written revocations received from a beneficiary must be filed by the RHNCI with their
Medicare contractor and a copy retained by the RNHCI provider. Revocations may be
filed using the same format as elections, indicating a revocation in the type of bill code.
See section 170.1.3 below for details.
