General Information

Provider Certification

Hospice providers are required, under HFS 105.50, Wis. Admin. Code, to be enrolled in Medicare as a hospice under 42 CFR s. 418.50-418.100.

The attending physician is required to be individually certified as a physician in order to submit claims to Wisconsin Medicaid. Hospices that wish to submit claims for more than one physician may obtain a physician group billing number, but each attending physician is required to be individually Medicaid certified.
