CMS is raising awareness of the Hospice Benefit Component of the Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID) Model.
As noted in the MLN Connects for Dec. 23, 2021, when a Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollee elects hospice, Fee-for-Service Medicare becomes responsible for covering and paying for most services, while the MA plan remains responsible for certain services like supplemental benefits.
Under the model, participating MA plans are financially responsible for all Part A and B benefits, including the Medicare hospice benefit and supplemental benefits. For calendar year 2022, 13 participating MA Organizations will offer 115 plan benefit packages as part of the model component.
