“If it wasn’t documented, it wasn’t done!”  “If it isn’t documented, the claim will not be paid.”  As clinicians, how many times have we heard these true, yet frustrating statements?  Does your patient documentation include enough detail to withstand reviewer scrutiny?  Are you at risk for reimbursement payback for noncompliance?

In today’s hospice care environment, providers are challenged to provide excellent patient care that is balanced with regulatory compliance.  As regulatory audits are heating up, quality and comprehensive documentation are the keys to survival.  This presentation about documenting hospice care will identify risk areas as well as strategies for improving documentation quality for regulatory compliance.
