MHCP Provider Manual, Hospice Services, Medical Supplies and Equipment
Medical Supplies and Equipment
Hospice would provide medical supplies and equipment for the care and comfort of the member when related to the terminal illness as part of the hospice benefit.
For medical supplies or equipment not related to the terminal illness, the provider who supplied the member with medical supplies or equipment would bill MHCP with a diagnosis code related to the need for the item, not the terminal illness. Review the coverage criteria and billing information in the Equipment and Supplies section of the MHCP Provider Manual. Each claim must include a signed statement from the hospice physician indicating why the equipment or supply was not related to the terminal condition. It is the responsibility of the elected hospice provider to coordinate and provide this statement to the medical supplier when requested.
