W. Va. BMS Provider Manual § 509.14.1
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waivers
Members who have been determined eligible for and are enrolled in the HCBS Waiver programs may
receive services from a Hospice provider that do not duplicate waiver services at the same time. An
agreement between the wavier coordination agency and the Hospice provider must be on record. The
need for Hospice services must be documented in the member’s Individual Program Plan (IPP).
Documentation of the referral from the member’s attending physician must be maintained in the
member’s records of both the wavier program coordination agency and the Hospice provider.
Refer to the following Provider Manual Chapters for additional information:
•
Chapter 513, Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities Waiver Services
•
Chapter 501, Aged and Disabled Waiver Services
•
Chapter 512, Traumatic Brain Injury Waiver Services
Note: Operating a program of services under the authority of Section 1915 (c) of the Social Security Act,
known as the Home and Community Based Waiver services, requires that BMS have authority over the
services. If the member is receiving any other Medicaid service, the Waiver service is considered primary.
