Hospice documentation should paint a very clear picture of a patient’s eligibility from admission through discharge. Many agencies are surprised to learn their poor documentation does not support eligibility when suddenly tasked with an “additional documentation review” and recoupment of Medicare dollars. 

This presentation will explain how to effectively audit hospice documentation, review the highest-ranking focus areas, and address what should appear on every hospice documentation audit tool. From technical requirements to clinical requirements, this presentation will take you through an effective hospice documentation audit step-by-step.  It will also describe how to identify areas of risk so they can be incorporated into performance improvement.
