The Jan. 1 deadline for face to face encounters is rushing up, and agencies can use all the help they can get with the new heavy burden. Regional home health intermediary Cahaba GBA is offering one-page fact sheets about HHA and hospice face to face encounter requirements. The HHA quick reference tool is at www.cahabagba.com/rhhi/education/materials/quick_homehealth_face.pdf and the hospice quick reference tool is at www.cahabagba.com/rhhi/education/materials/quick_hospice_face.pdf. And NAHC has made available 10 model letters and tools related to the new requirement. The documents at www.nahc.org/regulatory/home.html include model letters to patients and physicians; liability, nonacceptance, and termination notices; and a documentation guide.
