Tex. HHSC Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual § 3620
Changing Hospices
Revision 06-2; Effective December 12, 2006
To change the Medicaid hospice provider designation, the old and new hospice providers complete Form 3071, Individual Election/Cancellation/Update, as an update for each provider and submit it to the Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership (TMHP). For more information regarding form submission, see Section 4200, Claims Management Systems (CMS).
Note: When an individual is transferred from one hospice provider to another, the transferring hospice cannot bill for services on the date of transfer. The receiving hospice bills for services on that day.
Change of ownership of a hospice provider is not considered a change in a hospice individual's designated hospice provider. Note: A change of ownership that results in a new contract number requires an updated Form 3071 in order to transfer all individual information to the new provider.
