Concurrent Care Announcements

In September 2011, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services submitted a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which included Transmittal No. NE 11-14 and notice of approval of state plan material. The enclosed forms indicated that Nebraska’s hospice care would be provided in accordance with section 2302 of the Affordable Care Act, which allows individuals under 21 to elect for hospice services and receive curative treatment for their terminal illness concurrently. This change superseded TN No. 11-10. This may be accessed at 2011_Nebraska.

Effective July 1, 2011, the Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services issued a State Plan Amendment (SPA) (Transmittal No. 11-14) including the CMS letter and the transmittal attachment.
