Title: Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities: Hospice Services (CMS-3140-P)(Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: This proposed rule would establish requirements that long-term care (LTC) facilities must have an agreement with hospice agencies when hospice care is provided in a long-term care facility to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. We are proposing these new requirements to ensure that quality hospice care is provided to eligible residents.
