Tex. HHSC Medicaid Hospice Provider Manual § 6400
Hospice and Intermediate Care Facilities for Persons with Mental Retardation and Related Conditions (ICF/MR-RC)
Revision 06-2; Effective December 12, 2006
Persons who receive services from the ICF/MR-RC Program may receive hospice services.
A Medicaid recipient residing in an ICF/MR-RC may elect the Medicaid Hospice Program. When an ICF/MR-RC resident elects into the hospice program, he is electing out of the ICF/MR-RC Program. ICF/MR-RC providers must stop billing HHSC for these residents as of the date of election and instead, look to the hospice for the room and board payment. The hospice passes the room and board payment to the ICF/MR-RC. For more information on the per diem rate, see Item 4540, Room and Board.
The hospice and ICF/MR-RC staff should:
maintain ongoing communication regarding an individual's care and condition;
maintain hospice records in the individual's resident record; and
coordinate any changes in the hospice plan of care with the ICF/MR-RC staff.
