General Requirements for IHCP Hospice Benefits
Hospice members can be Medicaid-only eligible or dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
However, all hospice members must be certified as terminally ill.
Note: A member is considered terminally ill if, given that the illness runs its normal course,
the medical prognosis suggests a life expectancy of six months or less.
Any IHCP member receiving full Medicaid benefits who is terminally ill and meets medical necessity
criteria may receive services from an IHCP hospice provider. Different IHCP programs may have different
prior authorization and plan-of-care requirements for coverage.
