Hospice Billing

Medicare billing is a crucial part of hospice
reimbursement. Make sure billing staff fully
understands regulatory requirements. Attend the
upcoming workshop taught by billing expert, Melinda
Gaboury who will lay the concrete foundation for
hospice billing. Training will include Medicare
verifications with HIQA screen examples, field by
field on Notice of Election and claim forms and
sequential billing requirements. Gaboury will review
the regulations for billing all hospice services (SN,
HHA, MSW and therapy), face-to-face encounters
and additionally home health providing care while a
patient is on service with hospice. The event will
conclude with many of the day-to-day scenarios that
billers face such as: transfers, discharge, revocation,
re-election and room and board. If you are part of
