The launch of the new Hospice Outcomes & Patient Evaluation (HOPE) assessment on October 1 brings significant changes to hospice operations and workflows. With the shift from QIES to iQIES, the introduction of new visit types such as SFVs and HUVs, and rigorous validation requirements, hospices will be navigating a challenging course.
In this webinar, we will examine how new hospice regulations will affect your day-to-day workflows. We will address the transition to iQIES for CMS submissions, HIS and HOPE timeframes and submission deadlines, and strategies to help avoid the 4% revenue penalty. Fuel up with practical insights to support timely HOPE submissions and maintain compliance. Don’t get left in the dust — hit the gas and race toward the HOPE finish line!

·      HOPE Submission: Understand the transition from QIES to iQIES for CMS transmission and identify strategies to minimize the risk of late HOPE submissions
·      New Visit Types: Examine workflows for scheduling SFVs and HUVs to meet HOPE’s new requirements and assessment frequencies
