CMS Clarification Regarding Nutritional Supplements
According to the CMS, nutritional supplements that are necessary as a result of the terminal illness are the
financial responsibility of the hospice. Provision of such supplements is viewed as above and beyond the
dietary services a nursing facility traditionally provides. Even though some nursing facilities would be
required to provide nutritional supplements for nonhospice participants, the election of hospice transfers the
payment obligation to hospice for those services related to the terminal illness.
