Nearly 53% of hospices undergo multiple audits simultaneously
Hospice News, by Jim Parker; 3/12/24
Program integrity and an onslaught of audits are top of mind for many hospice providers in 2024. The nation’s four largest hospice industry organizations — LeadingAge, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) — in late 2023 conducted a 133-respondent provider survey focused on regulation. ... About 52.9% reported having multiple audits, each of a different type, within six months of one another, and 31% said they were required to submit the same charts for each of these audits.
Notable mentions: Katie Smith Sloan, LeadingAge; Tom Koutsoumpas, NPHI; Katie Wehri, NAHC; Patrick Harrison, NHPCO.
