§558.260[a][5]quality improvement
§558.260[a][7]financial management
Program Description:
Part One | Hospice Medical Review in a Medicare Certified World. This program takes agencies through the winding road of Medicare scrutiny.
While billing the Medicare benefit and getting paid relatively easy, there is always a risk of things being reviewed at some point and what can you do to avoid denials.
Participants will be able to define Targeted Probe & Educate (TPE) and outline the structure of how to respond to any level of medical review that may occur, including UPIC, RA, SMRC.
Part Two | Hospice Documentation Supporting Eligibility. Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is critical to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements.
The lack of supporting documentation for a terminal prognosis is the number one reason for claim denials under Medical Review.
The clinical documentation must go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by drilling down to
the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.

Program Description: Accurate hospice eligibility documentation is critical to fulfilling the CoPs and payment requirements.
The lack of supporting documentation for a terminal prognosis is the number one reason for denial. Reviewers often look for a significant decline in patient condition.
Although this is not a requirement of hospice care, terminal prognosis is. This program helps clinicians document the slightest changes in baseline measures.
More importantly, you'll learn how to capture in documentation the occurring changes that support terminal prognosis – even without a decline in baseline measures.
Go beyond the LCDs and common tools for documenting eligibility by drilling down to the details and characteristics that differentiate terminal and chronic patients with the same diagnosis.
