Section 16.03.10.452 - HOSPICE: ELIGIBILITY

Inherent in the Hospice program is that a participant understands the nature and basis for eligibility for hospice care without an inappropriate and explicit written statement about how the impending death will affect care. Though only written acknowledgment of the election periods is mandated, it is required that the participant or their representative be fully informed by a hospice before the beginning of a participant's care about the reason and nature of hospice care. The following are the eligibility requirements for Hospice:

01.Certification. A certification that the participant is terminally ill must have been completed in accordance with Section 454.01 of these rules.

02.Medically Necessary. Hospice services must be reasonable and necessary for the palliation and management of the terminal illness and related conditions.

03.Election of Services. The participant must elect hospice care in accordance with Section 454.02 of these rules.
