Understanding and Completing the Hospice Medicare Cost Report is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Learn to identify and understand the many requirements for completion of the hospice cost report. The new cost report will require substantial changes in accounting, financial reporting, and statistical accumulation. Hospices, along with those who prepare cost reports, need to begin planning by assessing their accumulated financial and statistical information, modifying procedures to ensure ongoing collection of this information, and strategizing to ensure that all the required information is available for the entire cost reporting year. Information used to prepare current reports does not suffice for accurate filings in the future. Get ready to meet the current requirements and prepare for even more revisions in payments for hospice care.
