Section 481.53.17. Contracted services.

Latest version.

A hospice may contract with other health care providers for the provision of all services.
      53.17(1) Contracts shall be written and clearly delineate the authority and responsibility of each party to the contract.
      53.17(2) The hospice shall maintain responsibility for coordinating and administering the hospice program.
      53.17(3) Contracting for a service does not absolve the hospice of legal responsibility for provision of that service.
      53.17(4) The hospice shall inform the patient whether the hospice is paying for the contracted services.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 135J.3(2).
