Revisions to Chapter 2, Sections 2082 – 2089 - “Hospices”
Regulatory citations in these sections have been
revised to consistently cite a reference in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) using
title, part and section number and omitting the word section. Thus 42 CFR 418.3 refers
to title 42, part 418, section 3. Sections 2080A, 2080C, 2080C.1, 2080D, 2081, 2082,
2083, 2084, 2084A, 2084B, 2086, 2086B, 2086C and 2089 have all been revised to
consistently cite the CFR regulations. Sections 2082A-2082D has been deleted. The
information for 2082A-2082C is now contained in Appendix M of the SOM under the
regulations and interpretive guidelines at 42 CFR 418.112. The information for 2082D is
now contained in Section 20.3 of the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual. Section 2084C
has been deleted. The information for 2084C is now contained in Section 2084B.
