Are you ready for the January 1, 2011 CMS rule for Section 3132 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the new healthcare reform law, which requires a hospice physician or nurse practitioner to have a face-to-face encounter with each hospice patient who is approaching their 180-day recertification period and for each 60-day recert period after that date?

Let’s gather together, learn how others are preparing for this change, the implications of this change to your hospice, and how others are financially preparing for the January 1, 2011 implementation.
