How to Prepare for the New Hospice CMS Final Rule 2022
Summary
These additions to the Social Security Act by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are split into seven separate provisions. • Requirements for use of multidisciplinary survey teams • All survey entities must include diverse professional backgrounds among their surveyors to reflect the disciplines responsible for providing care, including physicians, nurses, medical social workers, pastors or other counselors. CMS modified the regulation to add that surveyors must disclose actual or perceived conflicts of interest prior to participating in a survey and recuse themselves. The revised training will emphasize individualized written plans of care and regular updates with the full involvement of the interdisciplinary team, patients and their families. The hotline will collect and update information on certified hospices, receive complaints and answer questions.
