102. Hospice Regulatory and Policy Update (Room 102)

Over recent years, hospice has undergone rapid transformation as the result of numerous regulatory changes and intensified oversight efforts.  The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) ongoing monitoring of hospice utilization and practice patterns are expected to produce additional regulatory and policy changes over the coming years.  This session will provide an overview of pending hospice regulatory and policy considerations in the hospice world, with a special focus on the fiscal year 2018 payment rule.

This session is sponsored by Philips.
