CMS Pub. 100-04, ch. 11, § 70.1
General
A3-3142
There is no deductible.
The payment rates have been reduced by a coinsurance amount on outpatient drugs and
biologicals, and inpatient respite care as required by law. No other coinsurance or
deductibles may be imposed for services furnished to beneficiaries during the period of
an election, regardless of the setting of the services. Hospices may charge beneficiaries
for the applicable coinsurance amounts only for drugs and biologicals and for inpatient
respite care.
The hospice is responsible for billing and collecting any coinsurance amounts from the
beneficiary.
