California AB2538 mandates hospice providers to submit an online form within five days of a Medi-Cal member's election for hospice services.
California AB2538 requires hospice providers to submit an online form within five calendar days after a Medi-Cal fee-for-service member elects to receive hospice services. This form must be submitted alongside counseling the member, obtaining informed consent, and completing the Medi-Cal Hospice Program Election Notice Form. The provider must maintain this form in the member's medical records and make it available to the department upon request or during an audit. Submission of the online form is necessary for reimbursement eligibility, though it does not guarantee reimbursement.
