Join this webinar for an in-depth discussion on the FY2020 Hospice Wage Index Final Rule. Faculty will elaborate on the final rule’s proposal to rebase Continuous Home Care (CHC), Inpatient Respite (IRC) and General Inpatient Care (GIP); reduce Routine Home Care (RHC) rates by -2.71%; require an addendum to the hospice election statement to provide transparency for patients when the hospice determines that a service, item or medication is not
related to the terminal illness and related conditions and must be paid for by the beneficiary; request information on the role of hospice and coordination of care at end-of life; hospice future measure development; claims based measures in development; hospice assessment tool update; Hospice Compare update; and possible CAHPS Survey changes. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from NHPCO experts about the potential impact of these proposals.
