Date/Time: 10/09/2014, 3:00 pm
Provider: Florida Hospice & Palliative Care Association
CMS has concerns about the potential overuse and lack of use of the hospice general inpatient level of care. These concerns are supported by some of the data obtained and analyzed in the May 2014 Technical Report. Furthermore, the Office of the Inspector General has had general inpatient care on its annual work plan in recent years. In addition, CMS is watching utilization trends in respite care and continuous care. During this webinar, you will learn about hospice general inpatient acute care, respite care, and continuous care regulations; identify GIP, respite and continuous care eligibility criteria; and how eligibility criteria for these levels of care should be reflected in documentation.
