Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is crucial to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements.

Are your patients properly documented and hospice eligible? Are their conditions terminal or chronic? This webinar will focus on the medical review approach to verifying patients’ conditions and meeting eligibility criteria.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

Review the benefits of writing an effective plan of care to establish eligibility criteria from the hospice admission
Identify ways to uphold continued hospice eligibility with defensible documentation
Discuss the role of the IDG in supporting eligibility throughout the hospice election
Understand the importance of accurately documenting hospice eligibility to avoid claim denials under medical review

WEBINAR DETAILS

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, participants will learn 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 into the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.
