Hospice 101: Establishing a Solid Eligibility Foundation for New & Existing Staff

Hospice 101 will take your agency through the hospice process and basics while highlighting eligibility, which is the top reason for medical review audits and denials. The webinar will explain who is eligible for the Medicare hospice benefit, admission documentation requirements, and how to support and maintain ongoing eligibility. The use of LCDs to help with documentation best practices to support eligibility in high-risk areas will be covered in detail. It will review the NOE and patient addendum of non-covered services, and how to correctly complete these forms. In addition, the four levels of care and required documentation, hospice admission paperwork, and the certification process will be covered.

This webinar is recommended for all new hospice staff and will serve as an excellent hospice benefit refresher for board members, quality assurance staff, compliance personnel, DOPCSs, educators, admission team nurses, clinical managers, intake staff, liaisons, marketers, and business development teams. It will also benefit home health administrators who are interested in adding a hospice agency to their service portfolio and care continuum.

"Great webinar for new team members! Even our seasoned team members were like - oh my - we need to double check on some of these. Very good presentation. Kathy is ALWAYS a pleasure to listen to and watch! Her knowledge is great and she delivers this eloquently. Her facial expressions with some questions is great as well - and no matter what the question - she responds very professionally and always states to follow up with her if the question needs further clarification. This is Greatly Appreciated. thank you Kathy!"
