Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued an All Facilities Letter (AFL) to hospice providers, notifying them of Senate Bill (SB) 294, which allows hospice providers to offer palliative care to seriously ill patients without a terminal diagnosis under specified conditions. The pilot program, which began on January 1, 2018 and ends on January 1, 2022, permits licensed hospice providers to provide palliative care to non-terminally but seriously ill patients, as determined by the physician and surgeon in charge of the care of the patient, regardless of the individual's estimated length of life. Participating hospice providers must notify CDPH at least 45 days prior to providing palliative care under the pilot program and submit the necessary forms. The bill also requires hospice providers to report specified information on a regular basis, including the number of non-hospice patients who received palliative care, the number of patients enrolled in hospice, and the primary diagnoses of the patients for which the licensee provided palliative care. CDPH will conduct a stakeholder meeting at the end of the pilot period to discuss the results of the reported information. Hospice providers are advised to refer to the full text of all applicable sections of the Health and Safety Code (HSC) and the California Code of Regulations to ensure compliance.
