The document is an information letter from the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) clarifying the billing procedures for hospice services provided to Medicaid-eligible nursing facility residents. It emphasizes that hospice providers must have a fully executed Medicaid contract with DADS to receive payment for services, including room and board charges. If a hospice provider is not contracted with Medicaid, neither they nor the nursing facility will be reimbursed by Medicaid for services rendered.

What is the 5 day rule for hospice patients?

The hospice interdisciplinary team (IDT) has 5 calendar days from the effective date of the hospice election statement to complete the comprehensive assessment. CMS does not dictate how the comprehensive assessment is completed or what forms a hospice provider utilizes to document the comprehensive assessment.

How much does Medicare pay for hospice per day?

The three-day measure assesses the percentage of patients receiving at least one visit from a registered nurse, physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant in the last three days of life.

Can hospice put you in a nursing home?

Many people think hospice benefits solely cover in-home support for caregivers and patients with a terminal illness. But in reality, hospice can take place wherever a patient calls home a private residence, nursing home, residential facility, or contracted inpatient facility or hospital.

Will hospice pay for nursing home care?

Medicare covers hospice at a skilled nursing facility (SNF) only if the SNF has a contract with a Medicare-certified hospice that can provide your care. The hospice benefit will not pay for room and board at the SNF, so you will be responsible for that cost.

What is the relationship between a nursing facility and a hospice provider?

In order to provide continuity of care, the hospice and the nursing home must collaborate in the development of a coordinated plan of care for each resident receiving hospice services. The structure of the plan of care is established by the nursing home and the hospice.
