PPEO – What Does This Mean for Hospices in Ohio?

The Provisional Period of Enhanced Oversight (PPEO) is for new hospices only with new hospices defined as:

  • Newly enrolling in the Medicare Program
  • Submitting a change of ownership that meets all the regulatory requirements under 42 CFR 489.18
  • Undergoing a 100% ownership change that doesn’t fall under 42 CFR 489.18
  • Reactivating after being in a deactivated status

There are more hospices involved than maybe realized. Have you ever missed revalidating your provider number? Have you ever missed cost report deadline? Change of ownership can be changing anyone that owns 5% or more of the agency.

Don’t miss this session and be fully prepared for what lies ahead for Hospices in Ohio!
