How does a hospice agency become approved to provide Medicaid services?
To become a Medicaid-approved hospice agency, HCA requires a hospice agency
to provide documentation that it is Medicare, Title XVIII-certified by the
Department of Health (DOH) as a hospice agency and meet the requirements in:
• Chapter 182-551 WAC Subchapter I, Hospice Services.
• Chapter 182-502 WAC, Administration of Medical Programs-Providers.
• Title XVIII Medicare Program.
To ensure quality of care for clients, HCA’s clinical staff may conduct a hospice
agency site visit.
