Many hospices have not had a State or Medicare survey in years. In addition, scrutiny from RHHIs (in the form of ADRs) has impacted many hospice programs and it is likely scrutiny is going to get even worse once the new RACs are fully functional. If you are concerned about your hospice's level of regulatory compliance and risk exposure, Weatherbee can help. Our highly skilled consultants will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your risk exposure and devise a plan to address any problem areas.

A Baseline Compliance Audit includes:

• An evaluation of compliance with the Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoPs)
• An analysis of practices relative to the risk areas identified by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)
• A census analysis and medical record reviews to assess risks of technical denials and quality of documentation related to patient eligibility for hospice care and eligibility for the general inpatient and continuous levels of care.
