Concurrent Palliative and Curative Care for Children Receiving the Hospice Benefit
Section 2302 of the Affordable Care Act, titled “Concurrent Care for Children,”
amends sections 1905(o)(1) and 2110(a)(23) of the Social Security Act to remove
the prohibition of receiving curative treatment upon election of the hospice benefit for
a Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligible child.
Eligible children through age 20 may elect to receive the hospice benefit, but also
continue to be eligible to receive covered curative treatment.
This policy does not change the criteria for electing the hospice benefit, nor change
the process for hospitals to contact the hospice regarding payment of hospital
admissions as denoted in Topic K-234.1.
