General Inpatient Care Services
General inpatient care is short-term inpatient care necessary for pain control and symptom management.
For each day general inpatient care is provided, the hospice is required to submit claims to ForwardHealth for services using the
general inpatient care revenue code. The hospice is responsible for paying the hospital or SNF (skilled nursing facility) that
provided the care.
General inpatient care must be provided by a Medicaid-enrolled hospital, an SNF enrolled in Wisconsin Medicaid, or a hospice
enrolled under 42 C.F.R. Part 418 meeting conditions specified under 42 C.F.R. § 418.98.
