MO HealthNet Hospice Provider Manual § 2.4
Identification of Hospice Participants
Most services related to a terminal illness must be billed by and are reimbursed to the hospice provider elected by the participant; therefore, it is important that providers be able to readily identify participants who have elected hospice services.
When providers verify participant eligibility, the participant on hospice is identified by a lock-in and hospice provider’s name. Eligibility may be verified by accessing eMOMED calling Provider Communications at (573) 751-2896 or toll-free at (833) 222-7916, which allows the provider to inquire on participant eligibility, check amount information, and claim information. Refer to the General Sections Manual for more information on lock-in and eligibility.
Non-hospice providers are encouraged to contact the hospice provider indicated in eMOMED or on the IVR prior to the provision of service, or when they have questions about whom to bill for a specific service.
