Ga. Medicaid Part II Policies & Procedures for Hospice Services § 801
General
The Division does not require prior approval of hospice services.
801.1. Same Day Services
When individual transfers out of a hospice service to elect another hospice service, the transferring
hospice provider cannot submit a claim for reimbursement for the date of the individual’s transfer to
the other hospice. The hospice provider that admits the transferring individual can claim the
admission date for reimbursement.
When an individual receives another Medicaid covered service and chooses to enroll in hospice
services on the same day, the hospice provider and the other Medicaid service provider will both be
allowed to submit claims for processing to be reimbursed for that day. Similarly, when individual
revokes or is discharged from hospice service and receives services from another Medicaid provider,
the Medicaid provider and the hospice agency will both be allowed to submit claims for processing
to be reimbursed for that day, except for Revenue Code 659, Nursing Facility room and board.
