Abstract

The past year has seen the development of the first legislation to reform the Hospice Medicare Benefit. This creates enormous opportunity and challenges for hospice. The legislation was developed in response to concerns about fraud in hospice and the goal was to improve Hospice integrity. While this is a laudable goal, as proposed, this legislation could significantly impact access to hospice. Other parts of the proposal seek to provide support for concurrent care and room and board coverage for terminally ill patients who seek to receive hospice services in a long-term care setting as opposed to having to receive skilled care to have that support. in addition to this important legislation the session will also review other developments in the ongoing regulatory burden and scrutiny that Hospices continue to face.
