New Day for Hospice Inpatient Facilities is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
For years, hospice inpatient units and facilities have struggled with high costs and low reimbursement. CMS’s realignment of hospice level of care reimbursement rates presents new opportunities. How has the financial picture for hospice inpatient settings changed? Hear from hospice experts who will share benchmarks, operational efficiencies, and changes they have made since the FY 2020 rates took effect.
