Some of the cost increase may be passed from affected hospices to the patient or private insurance for subsequent reimbursement either wholly, or in part, by one or both of these parties.
A small number of Wisconsin counties operate hospices and are subject to these rules. All county operated hospices are Medicare certified. Since this rule is similar to federal certification standards; counties are already meeting the new DHS 131 standards through compliance with the federal regulations.
