W. Va. BMS Provider Manual § 509.8.1
Routine Home Care (RHC)
Revenue Code:
0651
Service Unit:
Unit = 1 Day
Service Limit:
1 unit per day
Definition of Service: This level of care consists of providing Hospice services as described under
Section 509.3.2, Hospice Service Requirements, except for those referring to inpatient care, or services
provided when the member’s needs are so intensive as to require continuous care as described below.
The Hospice is paid the RHC rate for each day the member is under the care of the Hospice and not
receiving one of the other three more specialized categories of Hospice care (CHC, IRC, and GIC).
This rate is paid without regard to the volume or intensity of routine home care services provided on any
given day, and is also paid when the member is receiving hospital care for a condition unrelated to the
terminal condition.
