§418.110(e) Standard: Building Safety
Except as otherwise provided in this section, the hospice must meet the applicable
provisions and must proceed in accordance with the Health Care Facilities Code
(NFPA 99 and Tentative Interim Amendments TIA 12-2, TIA 12-3, TIA 12-4, TIA
12-5 and TIA 12-6).
(1) Chapters 7, 8, 12, and 13 of the adopted Health Care Facilities Code do not
apply to a hospice.
(2) If application of the Health Care Facilities Code required under paragraph (e)
of this section would result in unreasonable hardship for the hospice, CMS may
waive specific provisions of the Health Care Facilities Code, but only if the
waiver does not adversely affect the health and safety of patients.

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.
