You asked a similiar question on March 1. Your Mom is on Hospice. Hospice is now prime caregiver of Mom. If Mom needs antibiotics, the Nurse will order antibiotics. She will either administer them them or have you administer them.
Medicare pays for Hospice. No other healthcare agency will come in when you are already with a homecare agency which Hospice is. Medicare will not allow a second agency to bill them and these agencies know this. Since Medicare is Moms primary and Medicaid secondary, Medicaid will follow Medicare findings.
