WEBINAR DETAILS
The age-old question…what counts? This is a question many of us hear on a regular basis. While many of the specifics are clear cut, others are a bit vague. This webinar will look closely at the Medicare Condition of Participation related to the 5% volunteer requirement. How is it calculated? What staff hours do we include? What volunteer hours can we include? Ensure your agency not only meets but exceeds this 5%!
