In short

  • Get signed consent on Form PR-02-A before any care. Explain hospice care, services, limits and costs in plain words first.
  • Only the patient, or a person with legal authority, may sign. Write down who signed and why they may sign, and keep a copy of the paper.
  • Not sure who may sign? Stop and call the director of nursing.
  • Medicaid patients: get the CHAMPS admission copy signed and give Form PR-02-B at the admission visit. The rule allows no more than ten days.
  • A patient may refuse any care. Explain what may happen, write it down, and tell the case manager the same day.
