Mich. Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice § 7.3.C
Date of Discharge
Hospice services are reimbursable for day of discharge if services were rendered,
regardless of the setting in which the services were provided. This includes the transfer
of the beneficiary from one hospice provider to another as long as services were
provided by both agencies. (This will be randomly verified by post payment audit and as
indicated.) If the beneficiary has hospice as of 12:01 am, the hospice is responsible for
the payment of services provided to the beneficiary until midnight. The hospice will
continue, for payment purposes, as the primary provider for the full day of discharge.
Room and board for a hospice/nursing facility (NF) resident is reimbursable on the day of
discharge if the discharge is due to resident death or the resident is discharged from
hospice but remains in the NF. Room and board reimbursement for the day of discharge
from the NF for any other reason is not covered.
