Sec. 418.307  Periodic interim payments.



    Subject to the provisions of Sec. 413.64(h) of this chapter, a 

hospice may elect to receive periodic interim payments (PIP) effective 

with claims received on or after July 1, 1987. Payment is made biweekly 

under the PIP method unless the hospice requests a longer fixed interval 

(not to exceed one month) between payments. The biweekly interim payment 

amount is based on the total estimated Medicare payments for the 

reporting period (as described in Sec. Sec. 418.302-418.306). Each 

payment is made 2 weeks after the end of a biweekly period of service as 

described in Sec. 413.64(h)(5) of this chapter. Under certain 

circumstances that are described in Sec. 413.64(g) of this chapter, a 

hospice that is not receiving PIP may request an accelerated payment.
