A provider or facility furnishing items and services to a continuing care patient whose plan or issuer is providing transitional coverage under 42 U.S.C. 300gg-113 (or the parallel ERISA and Internal Revenue Code sections) must accept the plan's payment plus the patient's in-network cost sharing as payment in full, and must continue to adhere to the plan's policies, procedures and quality standards for that patient as if the contract termination had not occurred.
