The Changing World of Hospice:  
Understanding Diagnosis, Related Conditions and the Current Regulatory Environment and How to Navigate the White Water Rapids of Change

Webinar – Thursday, October 29, 2015
2:00 to 3:30 p.m. CST

In this webinar we will explore the changing landscape of the hospice industry. We will discuss the increased regulatory scrutiny through the use of Medicare data as well as the increased cost burden of hospice patients. Attention will turn to understanding diagnosis and dilemmas faced when admitting patients with non-specific illnesses. Unrelated vs related medications will be covered as well as proper documentation that captures ICD 10 codes and eligibility requirements. Finally, we will discuss the move toward a value based payment system.

Program Objectives:
  • Understand why change needs to occur by reviewing cost and utilization data
  • Review the current regulatory landscape
  • Understand the current movement from service to value-based payment system
  • Demonstrate understanding of capturing diagnosis on admission and throughout hospice benefit periods as well as tackling the issue of related and unrelated medications
  • Examine proper documentation needed to capture eligibility certifications with focus on ICD-10 codes
