Ind. IHCP Hospice Services Provider Reference Module, Section 1, Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities

When providing hospice services to a resident of an ICF/IID, the hospice must have a coordinated plan of

care with the ICF/IID. The coordinated plan of care must outline the responsibilities of each entity. The

hospice needs to ensure that it provides core services for the ICF/IID resident. The qualifications of staff

available at the ICF/IID should be verified if the staff is to administer medications. Federal regulations at

42 CFR 418.112 should be reviewed in their entirety.

Case-specific survey questions regarding hospice care should be directed to the IDOH Acute Care Unit at

317-233-7474. Case-specific issues regarding assisted living and ICF/IIDs should be directed to the IDOH

Long Term Care Unit at 317-233-7442.

For reimbursement, the hospice should bill Medicare or Medicaid for the hospice per diem, and the ICF/IID

should continue to bill Medicaid for the ICF/IID per diem.
