On February 13, 2013 the Department
of Veterans Affairs issued a proposed rule to allow the VA to utilize Medicare
or State Medicaid procedures to enter into provider agreement to obtain
extended care services from non-VA providers.
The proposed rules include home health care, palliative care, and
non-institutional hospice care services as extended care services.
The terms
and rates of the provider’s separate Medicare provider agreement with CMS or
agreement under State Medicaid plan, or, if a provider has agreements with both
Medicare and under a State Medicaid Plan, the terms and rates would be the same
as the agreement with the highest rates.
