N.C. Medicaid Clinical Coverage Policy No. 3D § 5.6.5
Re-election of hospice benefits
The provider of hospice services shall comply with 42 CFR §418.24 (e),
Reelection of hospice benefits.
If an election has been revoked in accordance with 42 CFR § 418.28, the
beneficiary (or his or her representative if the individual is mentally or physically
incapacitated) may at any time file an election, in accordance with this section, for
any other election period that is still available to the beneficiary.
If the beneficiary wishes to resume hospice, the beneficiary or representative
reelects hospice for the next benefit period. The beneficiary is considered a new
hospice beneficiary. A new election statement, plan of care (POC), and physician
certification are required. Benefit periods are counted consecutively regardless of
the number of times a beneficiary revokes or re-elects hospice services.
