Tex. HHSC Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual § 5230
Inpatient Respite Care
Revision 05-1; Effective December 2, 2005
Providers may provide respite care only on an occasional basis. If an individual resides in the home, goes into the NF for respite care and returns home after the respite care, the individual need not be in an NF Medicaid bed. Respite care days are subject to the limitation on total hospice inpatient care days. HHSC pays respite care for a maximum of five consecutive days, including the date of admission but not the date of discharge. HHSC will pay the inpatient respite care rate for the day of death.
