Sec. 418.405  Effect of coinsurance liability on Medicare payment.

    The Medicare payment rates established by CMS in accordance with 
Sec. 418.306 are not reduced when the individual is liable for 
coinsurance payments. Instead, when establishing the payment rates, CMS 
offsets the estimated cost of services by an estimate of average 
coinsurance amounts hospices collect.
