Hospice Revenue Cycle Management

Hospice regulatory requirements have become increasingly complex in recent years and 2014 was no exception, with substantial changes occurring in Medicare billing requirements.  As these requirements are expected to continue to change in the coming years, the Medicare hospice benefit continues to receive heightened scrutiny from CMS and program integrity contractors.  It is critical that hospice providers take time now to examine the revenue cycle process to identify potential risks to compliance and cash flow, as well as to prepare for expected future regulatory changes. This preconference seminar will focus on optimizing the revenue cycle process by examining and applying industry revenue cycle performance benchmarks, analyzing typical revenue cycle compliance risks, and outlining a process for ongoing monitoring and assessment of revenue cycle performance.
