To require the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test allowing blood transfusions to be paid separately from the Medicare hospice all-inclusive per diem payment.

This bill would require a government health care research center to test a change in how Medicare pays for hospice care. Specifically, it would allow blood transfusions to be paid for separately, rather than being included in the single daily payment that hospice providers currently receive. No official summary is available for this bill.
