Del. Medical Assistance Program Hospice Provider Specific Policy Manual § 8.3

8.3.1 An individual or representative may revoke the election of hospice care at any

time. To revoke the election of hospice care, the individual must file a document

with the hospice that includes a signed statement that the individual revokes the

election for DMAP coverage of hospice care and the date that the revocation is to

be effective. The individual forfeits coverage for any remaining days in that

election period if the benefit is broken into periods. An individual may not

designate an effective date earlier than the date that the revocation is made.

Upon revoking the election of Medicaid coverage of hospice care for a particular

election period, an individual resumes DMAP coverage of the benefits waived

when hospice care was elected. An individual may at any time elect to receive

hospice coverage for any other hospice election periods for which he or she is

eligible.

8.3.2 An individual may change the designation of the hospice provider from which he

or she elects to receive care. To change hospice providers, submit a revocation

form to the current provider with the date of revocation. Following the revocation

date, the individual may elect hospice care from a different provider. The

revocation date and the election date cannot overlap.
