Maryland Department of Health has released a new memo providing guidance on Section 2302 of the Affordable Care Act. Medicaid participants under age 21 for whom hospice care is elected are entitled to services that are curative or life-prolonging as well as to palliative treatment. This transmittal specifically discusses how providers may seek reimbursement for medical supplies, adaptive and other medical equipment, and oxygen/respiratory equipment that are not directly connected to palliation of the terminal condition.
