Hospice eligibility is being scrutinized by many regulatory agencies. It is imperative that all documentation “makes the case” for payment and compliance with regulations. This webinar will address that scrutiny and best practices for documentation and payment.

This webinar is appropriate for hospice clinical, managers and regulatory staff.

•	Understand the documentation standards related to hospice eligibility.
•	Describe how to support the terminal diagnosis and 6-month prognosis in ALL documentation.
•	Distinguish between documentation that “makes the case” and documentation that leaves the hospice at risk for non-compliance and/or non-payment.
•	Understand the importance of the IDT functioning and process.
•	Identify best practices for documentation and compliance.
•	Identify new areas of scrutiny that have not previously been a focus of reviewers.
