Document, document, document. It’s the unending mantra of hospice in general.
However, this webinar will dive
into the specifics of documenting the differences between terminal and chronic
care for patients with the same diagnosis. It will also address documenting changes
in baseline measures. Strive to improve the accuracy of your documentation and
fulfill the CoPs and payment requirements with confidence.
AFTER THIS
WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
- Review the details of establishing eligibility criteria when documenting hospice admission
- Defend continued hospice eligibility with strong documentation
- Discuss the role of the hospice IDG in supporting eligibility throughout the hospice election
- Understand the importance of accurately documenting hospice eligibility to avoid claim denials under medical review
- Establish best practices for documentation expectations
WEBINAR DETAILS
Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is
critical to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements.
The lack of supporting documentation for a terminal prognosis is the number one
reason for denial. Reviewers often look for a significant decline in patient
condition. Although this is not a requirement of hospice care, a terminal
prognosis is.
This webinar will help clinicians document the slightest changes
in baseline measures. More importantly, it will explain how to capture the
changes that support terminal prognosis – even without a decline in baseline
measures. Go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by
drilling down to the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal
and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.
