Abstract: Based on a settlement agreement of the Weichardt vs. Leavitt class action suit, CMS-4105-F sets forth new requirements for how hospitals must notify Medicare beneficiaries who are hospital inpatients about their hospital discharge rights. Pursuant to ????405.1206 and 422.622, hospitals and Medicare Advantage plans must deliver to beneficiaries and enrollees, who are appealing inpatient hospital discharges, a detailed notice providing the reasons for the discharge decision. Notice is required both for original Medicare beneficiaries and for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans and other Medicare health plans subject to the MA regulations. This notice fulfills the regulatory requirement.
