N.H. Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual, Vol. II, § 3, Coverage for Children (under age 21)
Coverage for Children (under age 21)
To receive NH Medicaid hospice benefits, members who are under the age of 21 must be terminally
ill and elect hospice care.
Section 2302 of the Affordable Care Act, entitled “Concurrent Care for Children” amends sections
1905 (o)(l) and 2110 (a)(23) of the Social Security Acts, to remove the prohibition of receiving
curative treatment upon the election of the hospice benefit by or on behalf of a Medicaid eligible
child.
Members under the age of 21 are not required to waive rights to NH Medicaid services that are
related to the treatment of the member’s condition for which a diagnosis of terminal illness has been
made. These services and supports may include pain and symptom management and family
counseling provided by specially trained hospice staff
