Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), Unified Program Integrity Contractors (UPICs) and Supplemental Medical Review Contractors (SMRCs) are busy in the hospice industry right now. As CMS and contracted agencies improve their use of data to evaluate outliers in the hospice community, it’s crucial for providers to understand how data is used, where to find provider information, and how to evaluate documentation in cases in Long Length of Stay (LLOS) cases. This session will cover the basic factors that contribute to LLOS and identify the proper tools providers can utilize for tracking decline. The session will also cover the process of completing documentation reviews, what to consider in determining ongoing decline and terminality, and how to respond to a request for additional review.
