Utah Medicaid Provider Manual, Hospice Care Services § 8-8
Continuous home care
Continuous home care is provided only during a period in which a member
requires at least 8 aggregate hours of primarily nursing care in a 24-hour day in
order to manage an acute medical crisis and to maintain the member at home (a
24-hour day begins and ends at midnight). The 8 aggregate hours of care must
be predominately (more than half) comprised of nursing care provided by either
a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse. Homemaker and aide services
may also be provided to supplement the nursing care.
Extended stay residents of nursing facilities are not eligible for continuous home
care services.
