Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice Care Services § 8-4
Respite
Inpatient respite care is an option that may be furnished for up to 5 consecutive
days at a time to provide short term relief for the family members or others that
are caring for the member at home. Inpatient respite care is not available to
members who are residents of nursing facilities, ICFs/ID, or freestanding hospice
inpatient units. Clinical notes must reflect that this need clearly exists, and that
inpatient respite care is not being used for any other purpose such as for work or
schooling for the caregiver.
