New regulation effective June 3, 2024 requires that the Hospice Attending Physician must be enrolled in PECOS or Opt-out. CMS has identified certain criteria for claims process purposes to avoid denials. Transitioning time frame begins with claims containing Dates of Service June through October. Claims after this time frame will follow different criteria.\nHospice Agencies must confirm that the Attending Physician/Referring Physician are PECOS or Opt-Out enrolled and understand the consequences of payment should the claim report an Attending/Referring/Hospice Physician that is non-PECOS. Learn the steps needed to update the current patients and adhere to the rule for future patients.\nObjectives:\n\nUnderstand Hospice Regulatory requirements.\nIdentify data to track.\nLearn effective systems to put in place to keep you on track.\nDetect claims that contain Physicians that will cause denials.\n\nSpeaker Biography:\nPeggy Porter-McGee is a Revenue Cycle Management Expert, who works as a SME to support RCM operations, oversight, efficiency and improvement.
