CMS Pub. 100-11, ch. 5, § 20.5
Informing Female Participants
The Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) physician or alternative IDT member identified in the
organization’s care planning policy must inform female participants that they are entitled
to choose a qualified specialist for women’s health services to provide routine or
preventive women’s health services from the PACE organization’s network. In some
PACE organizations, the physician makes this notification during intake, the enrollment
process, or at the initial physician assessment. If notification has not been made prior to
development of the care plan, 42 CFR § 460.104(b) requires the IDT team to make this
notification during the care plan development or when the proposed care plan is
subsequently presented to the participant and/or care giver for discussion, revision, and
incorporation of the participant’s preferences.
[42 CFR § 460.104(b); 71 FR 71296 (Dec. 8, 2006)]
