Statement of Necessity The Division of Medical Services (DMS) proposes streamlining coding processes for hospice providers to allow for more timely and accurate claims processing. To do so, DMS implements use of a new form to identify when a Medicaid beneficiary is being admitted to or discharged from hospice services. The new processes require an update to the Hospice Provider Manual.
