Hospice care in America has changed dramatically since 1983 when it became a Medicare covered benefit. Over 1.4 million patients per year are cared for in Hospice programs. The biggest challenge faced by Hospice programs is regulatory requirements around the issue of eligibility and the impact on reimbursement. With at least four different levels of eligibility including:
- Patients who are eligible throughout their hospice stay
- Patients who are eligible upon admission but become ineligible later
- Patients who are ineligible upon admission but become eligible later
Patients where documentation does not support their eligibility throughout their stay
It becomes a resource intensive endeavor to keep track and monitor who is and is not eligible for Medicare services.
We give you ABILITY to ease this burden and simplify Medicare billing.
