Relatedness decisions affect every part of hospice care.

Gain a clear, defensible framework for determining, documenting, and communicating what is related to the terminal illness while meeting today’s Medicare hospice benefit requirements.


KEY WEBINAR TAKEAWAYS
  • Medicare’s expectations for determining what is and isn’t related to the terminal illness and related conditions
  • A practical, patient-specific approach to relatedness decisions involving diagnoses, medications, treatments, services, and supplies
  • FY 2027 changes to the hospice election statement addendum and why relatedness decisions, documentation, and communication will become even more important
  • Opportunities to strengthen interdisciplinary decision-making and documentation so the clinical record supports what the hospice covers — and what it does not
