WEBINAR DETAILS
Hospice Medicare eligibility and supporting terminality is critical. Hospice agencies are frequently under pressure for long length of stays — slow, steady patient declines reflecting more a chronic disease state than terminal. This webinar is intended to help agencies develop tools and best practices to collaborate and support appropriate hospice recertifications, including documentation. We will discuss how hospice team members can help support medical directors and hospice team physicians to determine whether to recertify.
