Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice Care Services § 8-3
General Inpatient Care
Short-term general inpatient (GIP) care in a participating hospice inpatient unit,
hospital, skilled nursing facility, ICF/ID, or other long-term care facility that
additionally meets the special hospice standards regarding staffing and patient
areas. Services provided in an inpatient setting must conform to the written plan
of care. General inpatient care may be necessary for pain control, or acute, or
chronic symptom management which cannot be provided in a home or other
outpatient setting. A member’s preference to die in a hospital or in another
inpatient setting is not an allowable criterion for GIP care. GIP may not be used
due to the breakdown of the primary caregiver’s living arrangements or the
collapse of other sources of support for the member.
