Va. DMAS Hospice Provider Manual ch. IV, Notification Of Death
Notification Of Death
The hospice provider must notify DMAS of the death of an individual no later than five (5)
days following the death. The hospice provider should use the Hospice
Enrollment/Disenrollment Authorization Request (DMAS 421A) as notification of death.
(NOTE: For directions on how to access the most current version of this form, please
refer to the last section of this chapter, titled “How to Access DMAS Hospice Forms.”)
The hospice provider must enter the discharge date in the AE&D portal for FFS hospice
individuals. For those individuals enrolled in a managed care organization, please refer
to and follow that particular MCO’s hospice procedures for discharge. The local
Department of Social Services that has case responsibility for the individual must also be
notified by the hospice provider, using the DMAS 225 process, if applicable. DMAS will
reimburse the provider for the last day of service, which includes either discharge or
death.
