Mich. Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice § 6.7.C
Nursing Facilities
The NF and hospice are responsible for performing their respective functions, which have
been agreed upon and included in the jointly developed POC. The joint POC must
include directives for managing pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, and be revised
and updated as necessary to reflect the beneficiary’s current status. The hospice retains
overall professional management and responsibility for directing the implementation of
the POC.
The joint POC should reflect the participation of the hospice, NF, and the beneficiary to
the extent possible. The hospice and NF must communicate with each other when any
changes to the POC are indicated, and each provider must be aware of the other’s
responsibilities in implementing the POC. There must be evidence of this coordination of
care in the clinical records of both providers. All aspects of the joint POC must reflect the
hospice philosophy. NF services must be consistent with the POC developed in
coordination with the hospice.
