People aged 21 and under who have elected hospice
The elected hospice provider must do the following:
• Explain the benefits the member will receive
• Explain that the member (aged 21 and under) does not waive coverage for curative care for the diagnosed terminal illness
• Inform the member that hospice care is optional and he or she may revoke hospice election at any time
• Give the member or legal representative a copy of the signed hospice transaction form
• Retain the signed hospice transaction form in their files
The elected hospice provider must send a copy of the Hospice Transaction (DHS-2868) form to the attending physician or nurse practitioner (primary care provider) for them to verify that the member has a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less. DHS must receive the form within two days of when the member signs it.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
