Can a Nurse Practitioner/Physician’s Assistant do REFERRALS to Hospice?

Yes.  They just cannot Certify or Recertify the patient as terminally ill.

Can a Nurse Practitioner/Physician’s Assistant do REFERRALS to Hospice?

We were thinking this had changed and had to come from a Medical Dr?

Does anyone know where we could find this answer?  I’ve been trying to search but can’t find any info on this.

 

Thanks
