The response from Sharol Herr is right on target. The only things I would add are 1)the hospice representatives negotiating the partnership should be very clear about the relevant content in the CMS Conditions of Participation, 2) both parties should seek the advice of health care attorneys versed in the requirements of the State in which the hospice and the hospital are located. Note: the tax status of the hospice per se does not dictate any difference(s) in the financial agreement between the parties.

I know that this is off the original subject but is following the thread...are there any other reasons why "free" palliative care shouldn't be given? I know that many advocate not doing it, especially important considering the hospice/Medicare free care clause but are there any other reasons besides that?
