NHPCO Unveils Mobile App for
Conference Attendees
Members who were able to attend the 15th Clinical
Team Conference in Nashville this past October
were the first to try NHPCO's new mobile app for
conference attendees.
The new mobile app provides quick access to
the latest program updates and information, and
allows attendees to build their own schedules,
access concurrent session handouts, evaluate
sessions on-site, network with other attendees,
use the interactive floor plan to navigate the
Exhibit Hall, and more!
NHPCO received very positive feedback from
CTC attendees on this handy new tool. It
will also be used at the Management and
Leadership Conference this spring - so please stay tuned!
Reminder: Invalid Diagnosis
Codes as of October 1
When CMS issued CR8877 to implement the FY2015 Hospice Wage Index
Final Rule, it also issued a list of "Invalid Hospice Diagnosis Codes" that
should not be used as a primary diagnosis code for hospice patients with
dates of service beginning on October 1, 2014 or later.
CMS has implemented a Medicare Code Editor which will send claims
with any diagnosis on this list back to the provider (RTP) for recoding.
If you are not already familiar with these
diagnosis codes, see the NHPCO
Regulatory Alert (10/2/2014) for
details and helpful links.
