Coverage for hospice services
Official statutory text
A. As used in this act, "hospice care" means a comprehensive,

provided to the member and his or her family when a physician
certifies that the member has a terminal illness and has a life
expectancy of six (6) months or less.
1. Hospice services must be related to the palliation and
management of the member's illness, symptom control, or to enable
the individual to maintain activities of daily living and basic
functional skills; and
2. Hospice care is performed under the direction of a physician
as per the member's plan of care in an approved hospital hospice
facility, in-home hospice program, or nursing facility.
B. 1. Coverage for hospice services shall be provided to all
Medicaid eligible members.

that the member is terminally ill and includes a medical prognosis
with a life expectancy of six (6) months or less if the illness runs
its normal course. The terminal prognosis also must be supported by
clinical documentation in the medical record.
