WEBINAR DETAILS
There has been an immense increase of Medicare recipients electing the hospice benefit. More baby boomers are becoming Medicare eligible daily, there are CMS payment model reforms, and more than ever, people are choosing to die at home. This is also a time when the OIG continues to recommend greater oversight of hospice providers. What will this mean for hospice and palliative care agencies in 2021?
Join us for a deep dive into the Medicare hospice eligibility benefit and the variety of payment models being introduced. Anticipated changes to the hospice benefit will be covered in-depth, including preparations and reporting. The webinar will also address common regulatory deficiencies and causes and identify which type of documentation is critical for the foreseeable future.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for all hospice leadership, including CEOs, directors of patient services, clinical managers, supervisors, medical directors, and board members. Intake staff, business development teams, liaisons, and quality and performance improvement staff will also benefit.
