Provider Letter: Adoption of Chapter 30 Medicaid Hospice Rules
June 15, 2006 by Jerri Lynn Ward, J.D.
Filed under Hospice, Medicaid
In a letter dated June 2, the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) alerts Medicaid hospice providers to changes to Medicaid hospice rules, effective June 1.
Hospice providers will have to follow additional requirements in the Contracting for Community Care Services rules in Chapter 49. For example, hospices must have a contract with DADS before billing Medicaid services and a written contract with a nursing or immediate care facilities before payment is made, and individuals must elect Medicaid hospice benefits before payment is made to the hospice.
