Hospice Care

Hospice rates are calculated based on the annual hospice rates established under Medicare.  These rates are authorized by section 1814(i)(1)(C)(ii) of the Social Security Act which also provides for an annual increase in payment rates for hospice care services.  Rates for hospice physician services are not increased under this provision.
