About the Event
The Hospice HOPE Tool went into effect on 10/1/25 and this session will review the impact on Hospices for the months of implementation. This session will review the HOPE Tool’s key requirements that may have led hospices to develop new processes to support HOPE accuracy and compliance. If any updates to HOPE are introduced during rule making, in 2026, they will be covered in this session.
