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.
