Overview:
2020 has been a whirlwind, from developing our personal “new normal” to adapting to changes in our care delivery, including barriers to seeing patients in person, to waivers opening up rules and regulations. This session will focus on the center of care for patients, including how to ensure that hospice organizations are using flexibilities and meeting patients’ needs with continued excellence. This session also will discuss the Hospice Payment Rule for 2021, the new CMS example of the updated election statement and the addendum to notify the patient with clarity about medicines and services that would not be covered by hospice.
