Bio: 

Judi Lund Person is the principal of the newly established LundPerson & Associates, LLC, hospice consulting. For 21 years, she served as the Vice President, Regulatory and Compliance at the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, where she served as a key contact with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, other federal agencies, helping to ensure that NHPCO’s voice was heard with policymakers. She also represents NHPCO with each of the Medicare Administrative Contractors and established a monthly NHPCO/MAC Collaborative meeting with all three MACs.

Over her 21-year tenure with NHPCO, Judi has developed and updated countless tools and resources for hospice providers, including compliance guides for Medicare hospice Conditions of Participation, toolkits for traveling patients, survey preparedness, live discharges and the admission process, as well as state/county rate charts for Medicare rates each year. She has spoken at state hospice meetings throughout the country and is known for turning regulations into “plain English” so that providers will understand how a change will impact their program.

Prior to joining NHPCO, Judi served for 22 years as the President and CEO of The Carolinas Center for Hospice and End of Life Care, where she provided support and resources for hospice providers and end of life care coalitions in the Carolinas. Early in her career, Judi was a part of a small group of advocates that worked for the passage of the Medicare Hospice Benefit in Congress. That advocacy work resulted in the addition of hospice to Medicare in 1982, with the original Medicare hospice conditions of participation published in 1983.
