Mich. Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice § 4

A beneficiary may be discharged from hospice as noted below. The provider must complete the

Discharge webpage in CHAMPS. The discharge must indicate the type of discharge, date of the

discharge, reason, and details of the beneficiary’s residence after discharge. A downloaded copy of the

beneficiary’s discharge (voluntary or involuntary) must be signed by the beneficiary and/or authorized

representative as proof of notification (unless the beneficiary has expired). A copy must be given to the

beneficiary and/or authorized representative after they sign it.

Completion of the hospice beneficiary’s discharge in CHAMPS will result in real-time changes to the

National Provider Identification (NPI) and the beneficiary’s PET.

Hospice providers must complete the hospice discharge (voluntary or involuntary) in a timely manner in

CHAMPS in order to maintain an accurate roster, and to ensure the beneficiary has the correct PET and

benefit plan assigned for correct payment.
