(2020 AM) 207. Modified Hospice Election Statement and NEW Patient Notification of Hospice Non-covered Items, Services and Drugs is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
On October 1, 2020, hospices implemented a modified election statement and a new election statement addendum, the Patient Notification of Hospice Non-covered Items, Services, and Drugs. These new requirements brought many questions regarding the forms as well as the Immediate Advocacy process administered by the BFCC-QIO. This session will review the requirements of the election statement and addendum and a summary of the Immediate Advocacy process and will share what some providers are doing to comply. We will then address frequently asked questions and the latest information available from CMS and the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs).
Learning Objectives:
- Identify content requirements of the modified election statement and election statement addendum;
- Discuss key processes and procedures for compliance;
- Explain the most current information on the topic provided by CMS and MACs.
