You can do a self-referral. Call a local hospice agency and give them his medical history. It sounds like he should qualify for hospice services. The hospice can then request records from the hospital or doctors office.
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.
