How does HCA reimburse for nursing facility charges?
For nursing facility room and board, including swing beds (See Swing bed rates),
HCA pays hospice agencies that are not licensed as hospitals, at a daily rate as
follows:
• Directly to the hospice agency at 95% of the nursing facility’s current
Medicaid daily rate in effect on the date the services were provided
• The hospice agency pays the nursing facility at a daily rate not greater than
the nursing facility’s current Medicaid daily rate
• Nursing facility charges are not covered for AEM clients. See WAC 182-507-
