Do you know of any states that currently have a pediatric benefit separate from medicaid/adult hospice or home health benefit?

How are you reimbursed for your palliative care team in your institution?

Hi, There are at least 8 states that have benefits: California, Florida, Washington are a few. I am not from one of them so can't comment directly. In our institution, we are reimbursed about 1/3 from clinical revenue, 1/3 from philanthropy and the remainder from hospital support.
