This month's topic: Hospice CoPs vs. Conditions of Payment

While following the Hospice Conditions of Participation are essential for regulatory compliance, compliance related to the Hospice requirements for coverage AKA the “conditions of payment” are essential to ensure your agency is paid for the outstanding care you provide. This session will discuss the associated conditions of participation as well as the Hospice payment requirements that directly impact payment of Hospice claims.
