Today's Episode | Focus on What Matters: The Importance of the Hospice Election Statement

The hospice election may be the single most important document for hospices since an invalid form can impact payment for a patient’s entire stay. Especially in light of a recent rise in Medicare claim denials related to the election, revisiting your form now could save you later in time and money. In this episode, Husch Blackwell’s Meg Pekarske, Emily Solum and Andrew Brenton share some key tips for avoiding common election denials—and the headaches and sleepless nights that come with them.
