Comments from a recent Hospice News Elevate podcast episode—where partner Howard Young was a guest—are featured in a companion article on how a longer length of stay for patients could raise flags to regulators that signal malfeasance.
“Hospices must learn to strike a healthy balance to avoid regulatory scrutiny, especially as regulators zero in on longer lengths of stay,” said Howard.
“Hospice auditing activity in recent years has been particularly ‘robust’ when it comes to length of stay issues.”
