Nursing Home Residents who Elect Hospice Benefits
When a resident of a nursing home elects to receive hospice services and remains in the nursing home, the hospice must contract
with that nursing home to provide the member's nursing home room and board. The hospice assumes responsibility for the
management of the individual's care.
An "active" nursing home authorization segment will be end dated systematically when the hospice benefit is added on the
member's enrollment file. The end date of the nursing home authorization segment will be one day prior to the effective date of the
member's enrollment in the Hospice Benefit.
