Hospice Benefit Revocation

Hospice benefit revocation occurs when a patient or their representative chooses to stop hospice care before the end of the six-month period covered by Medicare. Revocation of hospice benefits can happen for many reasons, including the patient’s decision to seek curative treatment, the patient’s improvement in health, or a change in the patient’s care needs.
When a patient or their representative revokes hospice benefits, the hospice agency must stop providing hospice care and bill Medicare for all the services provided up to the date of revocation. Any unused hospice days can be reinstated at a later date if the patient meets the eligibility criteria again.
It’s important to note that revoking hospice benefits can have financial implications for the patient and their family. If the patient chooses to seek curative treatment, they may be responsible for paying any deductibles or copayments associated with their medical care. Additionally, if the patient later decides to reenroll in hospice care, they may need to start the eligibility process again, which could delay the provision of hospice services.
Patients and their families should carefully consider their decision to revoke hospice benefits and discuss their options with their hospice team to ensure that they receive the care and support they need during this difficult time.
