The Reality of Modern Hospice Oversight
Over the past 5 years, greater scrutiny of the hospice program by the OIG has resulted in multiple investigative audits of hospices nationwide, identifying improper payments, ineligible admissions and recertifications, and very concerning trends of poor quality of care practices and noncompliance with the CoPs.
Today, providers face unprecedented scrutiny, including:
The Hospice Special Focus Program (SFP): Increased enforcement and public reporting for underperforming providers.
Targeted Audits: Aggressive medical reviews, TPE (Targeted Probe and Educate) audits, and OIG investigations focusing heavily on eligibility, recertifications, and technical CoP (Conditions of Participation) compliance.
Severe Financial & Operational Risks: Improper documentation is resulting in massive clawbacks, prolonged and costly appeals processes, and serious threats to provider enrollment.
How We Can Help
At SMART HCR, we continue to assist many hospices dealing with harsh survey deficiencies, TPE and medical review audits that are costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of time through the appeals process. This webinar will give your team the practical tools and insights needed to self-audit, tighten clinical documentation, and protect both your mission and your bottom line.
Don't wait for an audit to find the gaps. Join us to ensure your organization stays compliant, protected, and focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.
