Can a CAP/C recipient also receive Medicaid Hospice Services?
It depends on whether the client is at IC, SC, or HC level of care. A client at IC or SC level usually may not receive Medicaid Hospice services because the cost of Hospice causes the client’s home care costs to exceed the CAP/C limit. A CAP/C client at hospital level of care may be able to participate concurrently in Medicaid Hospice and CAP/C; however, the CAP/C case manager and the hospice will have to plan and coordinate services carefully to avoid duplication. REMEMBER: CAP/C cannot provide services that duplicate or replace the care that is the responsibility of the hospice agency.
