  • Title: Hospice management. Operational, reimbursement, and financial issues.
    Author: Simione RJ, Preston JF.
    Journal: Caring; 1990 Nov; 9(11):78-82. PubMed ID: 10108199.
    Abstract:
    Of the estimated 1,700 hospices in the United States, approximately half are Medicare-certified. In 1990 alone over 200 hospices have become Medicare-certified. Much of this recent growth can be attributed to both a need for hospice services and the 20% increase in hospice rates legislated by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989. Medicare certification now presents an opportunity for financial success for hospices, non-participating hospices, and certified home health agencies.
