NAHC and the Hospice Association of America will be hosting a free hospice teleconference on Thursday, September 4 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. During the "What Do the CMS' Hospice Cost Report Changes Mean to You?" teleconference, experts will discuss the significant implications of these changes for hospice. Experts include Val J. Halamandaris, NAHC President; Theresa M. Forster, NAHC Vice President for Hospice Policy & Programs; Katie Wehri, Hospice Operations; Robert J. Simione, Managing Principal, Simione Healthcare Consultants, LLC. Providers will have the ability to ask questions regarding the final version of the Hospice Cost Report changes.
