Iowa Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual ch. III § D.2.a
Methodology
Medicaid uses the same methodology as CMS uses to determine
Medicare hospice rates. This method adjusts to disregard cost offsets
attributable to Medicare coinsurance amounts and applies area wage
adjustments for four categories of hospice care.
Hospice rates are prospective. There is not any retrospective
adjustment.
Hospice rates are updated annually.
