Diagnosis Coding in Hospice is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
We have come a long way since CMS directed hospices to code all the diagnoses, including the unrelated diagnoses. We still have roadblocks when coding guidelines do not line up with what traditionally has been documented for the terminal diagnosis. The presenter will share insights that she has learned over the last two years in working with hospices and their medical directors in relation to diagnosis coding. ♦ Commercial support provided by Axxess.
