What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The one thing the section does: strike 2033 and insert 2035 in two clauses of section 1814(i)(2)(B) of the Social Security Act.

Nothing else. The section makes the same change twice.

The section amends the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here, so how the hospice cap is worked out is not recorded on this site.
