Provider's Manual on the Medicare Hospice Benefit

 

CMS has moved material into the new CMS Manual System and eliminated the corresponding material from the outgoing paper-based manuals.  CMS will continue this phase-out/phase-in process until all manual instructions are included in the CMS Manual System.  NAHC has prepared a new manual that contains all the information needed by a hospice agency for Medicare eligibility, coverage, and billing.  The new manual is organized by functional area, (e.g., eligibility, entitlement, claims processing, benefit policy, secondary payer).  NAHC has integrated pertinent sections from multiple CMS online manuals into a single, easy to use resource.  The manual includes all of the revisions made by CMS during the transition to its on-line system.
