Medicare-certified hospices are exempt from the listed provisions under item B

statutes or regulations relating to the same subject matter. If a
Medicare-certified hospice violates an equivalent federal statute or
regulation, the violation is considered by the commissioner to be detrimental
to the welfare of a patient and the Medicare-certified hospice is subject to
licensing action under Minnesota Statutes, section
144A.754.

The commissioner may delegate any authority or responsibility to an agent of the department.
