The medical director is critical in supporting all aspects of Medicare eligibility and the hospice process.

If your agency has a new medical director, NP, or PA, or has challenges with medical audits and denials related to the CTI, physician narrative, or F2F, this is the webinar for you.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Discuss the roles and responsibilities of the medical director (MD), nurse practitioner (NP), physician assistant (PA), and interdisciplinary team (IDT) relevant to the CoPs
  • Define Medicare hospice eligibility and documentation requirements related to the physician certification of terminal illness (CTI), physician narrative, and face-to-face (F2F)
  • Utilize LCDs to support Medicare hospice eligibility and documentation
  • Identify what triggers medical postpayment audits and the critical role of the MD and NP related to technical requirements
