Educational Session
Since 2007, CMS has required hospice providers to give additional data elements on claims. These new elements include: HCPCs codes identifying place of service; number of visits by time performed by physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, and home health aides; medication and pain pump reporting; new discharge codes; NPIs; face-to-face, and much more. With the 2016 Hospice Wage Index and Service Intensity Add On, CMS may be driving reimbursement toward an episodic model. This session will review information accessible through EMR software and a pharmacy vendor data collection tool to help hospice providers manage expenses, train referral sources, and identify length of stay based on diagnosis and medication trends.
