Tex. HHSC Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual § 6000
Hospice Care in Long Term Care Facilities
Revision 08-1; Effective November 12, 2008
A Medicaid recipient may elect to receive hospice care in any long term care facility such as a nursing facility (NF), intermediate care facility for persons with mental retardation or related conditions (ICF/MR-RC), or hospital. Long term care facilities must comply with all requirements for participation in the Medicaid and Medicare programs that apply to the facility. Long term care facilities do not have to participate in the hospice program; however, if a resident expresses a desire to participate in hospice and the facility does not contract with hospice providers, the facility should assist the resident in locating a facility that is willing to participate in the hospice program. The hospice rules and policies are similar for all long term care facilities, with some variances because of licensing requirements and payment rates.
