What the document says
“The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall ensure that patients are notified of the cost sharing for electing home infusion therapy compared to other applicable settings of care for the furnishing of infusion drugs under the Medicare program.”
Subsection (b) of section 6222 requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure that patients are told what cost sharing applies if they choose home infusion therapy, set against what applies in other settings of care.
What the document actually says
“The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall ensure that patients are notified of the cost sharing for electing home infusion therapy compared to other applicable settings of care for the furnishing of infusion drugs under the Medicare program.”
That sentence, in plain words
The health chief must make sure patients are told what home care costs them. The cost is set next to what other places would cost.
What this is about
Cost sharing is the part a patient pays. The same drug can cost different amounts in different places. A patient choosing needs to know that.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
