This three-part series is “all you need to know” as a hospice clinical manager, beginning with key regulations for hospice admission and ending with quality reporting.

Part 1 will go through the hospice process from admission, identifying the regulations related to Medicare hospice eligibility, and all of the necessary documentation required to manage your team.

  • Explain how the hospice manager/supervisor role supports compliance and regulations
  • Describe the hospice process and the components of Medicare hospice eligibility
  • Identify top areas of survey risk and payment denial
  • Describe the critical elements to creating an effective plan of care

WEBINAR DETAILS

Part 1 of this three-part webinar series will review regulations and compliance issues that are critical to hospice leadership. You’ll learn about Medicare hospice eligibility and how to successfully guide your team to support terminality and regulatory compliance. As Medicare oversight continues, it is critical that leadership understands the regulations and what qualifies patients for hospice and continued services.
This webinar will address the tools required to work with your team to meet those eligibility requirements and what to do when a patient is no longer eligible. In addition to the financial bottom line, leadership is accountable for patient care, agency quality, Hospice Compare scores, PEPPER scores, and a multitude of other reporting scores. Understanding the regulations and eligibility is crucial; Part 1 is a must-attend for all new leadership or those requiring a refresher.
