days of admission. A follow-up copy of
the signed IM is given no more than 2
calendar days before discharge. The
follow-up copy is not required if the
first IM is provided within 2 calendar
days of discharge. In accordance with 42
CFR 405.1206 for Original Medicare and
422.622 for Medicare health plans, if a
beneficiary/enrollee appeals the
discharge decision, the beneficiary/
enrollee and the QIO must receive a
detailed explanation of the reasons
services should end. This detailed
explanation is provided to the
beneficiary/enrollee using the DND, the
