47 The services and supplies listed below are Covered Services when given by a Hospice for the palliative care of pain and other symptoms that are part of a terminal disease. Palliative care means care that controls pain and relieves symptoms but is not meant to cure a terminal illness. Covered Services include: • Care from an interdisciplinary team with the development and maintenance of an appropriate plan of care. • Short-term Inpatient Hospital care when needed in periods of crisis or as respite care. • Skilled nursing services, home health aide services, and homemaker services given by or under the supervision of a registered nurse. • Social services and counseling services from a licensed social worker. • Nutritional support such as intravenous feeding and feeding tubes. • Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and respiratory therapy given by a licensed therapist. • Pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and supplies needed for the palliative care of your condition, including oxygen and related respiratory therapy supplies. • Bereavement (grief) services, including a review of the needs of the bereaved family and the development of a care plan to meet those needs, both before and after the Member’s death. Bereavement services are available to the patient and those individuals who are closely linked to the patient, including the immediate family, the primary or designated caregiver and individuals with significant personal ties, for one year after the Member’s death. Your Doctor must agree to care by the Hospice and must be consulted in the development of the care plan. The Hospice must keep a written care plan on file and give it to us upon request. Benefits for services beyond those listed above that are given for disease modification or palliation, such as but not limited to chemotherapy and radiation therapy, are available to a Member in Hospice.
