Not unless the county authorizes it.   I would think a person going on hospice should qualify for Medicaid unless they have too many assets and then county wouldn’t authorize under ac either. Call county worker and ask.

Good morning,

 

Does anyone know if I can bill Alternative Care (which is technically not Medicaid) to DHS for hospice care?

 

Thank you,
