Hospice eligibility
Help MHCP members with hospice eligibility by doing the following:
• Direct MinnesotaCare members to their local county human services agency for Medical Assistance (MA) eligibility determination.
• Direct MA members who may be eligible for Medicare to the Social Security Administration for Medicare application
• Dually eligible members (members who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid) who elect the MA hospice benefit must also elect Medicare hospice. The elected hospice provider must submit the MHCP Hospice Transaction Form (DHS-2868) (PDF), which includes the Medicare election form, to DHS within two calendar days of beginning or changing services
A member may receive hospice care until either of the following occurs:
• The member is no longer certified as terminally ill
• The member or his or her representative revokes the election of hospice care
