Can participants receive hospice care while enrolled in PACE?

Question: Can participants receive hospice care while enrolled in PACE?

Answer: Since comprehensive care is provided to PACE participants, those participants who need end-of-life care will receive the appropriate medical, pharmaceutical, and psychosocial services through the PACE organization. If the participant specifically wants to elect the hospice benefit from a certified hospice organization, then the participant must voluntarily disenroll from the PACE organization. The PACE organization would work with the State administering agency and CMS to facilitate the election of the hospice benefit.
