Kan. Medical Assistance Program Hospice Fee-for-Service Provider Manual § 8400, Leave Days
Leave Days
• Edits have been added to the claims processing system to facilitate accurate billing and to monitor
the limitations for hospital leave days.
• Reservation of a bed is allowed for up to ten days per confinement when an NF, nursing
facility/mental health (NF/MH), or ICF/IID member leaves the facility and is admitted to an acute
care facility when conditions under the reserve day regulations are met. KMAP reimburses
hospice providers 67% of the room and board rate. Hospital leave days are billed using
T2046 U4.
Note: To ensure accurate payment, the hospice provider must bill hospital leave days
consecutively, to begin with the date of admission to an acute care facility.
• Hospice providers may receive payment for nonhospital-related reserve days for hospice
members, not to exceed 18 days per calendar year. KMAP reimburses hospice providers 67% of
the room and board rate. Nonhospital leave days are billed using T2046 U4.
