Abstract: For all Medicare beneficiaries, hospitals must deliver valid, written notice of a beneficiary's rights as a hospital inpatient, including discharge appeal rights. The hospital must use a standardized notice, as specified by CMS. This is satisfied by IM delivery. When a QIO notifies a hospital that a beneficiary has requested an expedited discharge, the hospital must deliver a detailed notice to the beneficiary as soon as possible but no later than noon of the day after the QIO's notification. This is satisfied by DND delivery.

Short Statement: CMS estimates a burden increase due to the growth in hospitals and CAHs delivering approximately 25.4 million notices annually (25.3 million IMs + 97,156 DNDs). This represents an increase of around 11 million from our last collection. This is due to our recent capacity to capture Medicare Advantage data in addition to Original Medicare.
