Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. That the Department of Medical Assistance Services shall, to the extent permitted by federal law, implement a process for payment of nursing facility or ICF/MR share of payments directly to the nursing facility or ICF/MR rather than to the hospice care provider for hospice care furnished to an individual who is a resident of a nursing facility or ICF/MR and who would be eligible under the Commonwealth's program of medical assistance for nursing facility services or services in an ICF/MR had he not elected hospice care.
