New Use of Hospital Issued Notice of Noncoverage (HINN)
While there are several different versions of the HINN, none of the current versions adequately addresses the ability of hospitals to charge their inpatients for certain noncovered services severable from the inpatient stay (i.e., not bundled or integral to payment or treatment for the diagnoses/reasons justifying the stay under Medicare policy). This instruction offers model language for a new HINN to fit this specific case, “HINN 11”.
