The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed changes to the home health agency-based hospice cost report. The changes are likely to require big revisions to the way you keep your accounting records (see Eli’s Hospice Insider, Vol. 8, No. 10).
CMS has issued the proposed forms and instructions on the Paperwork Reduction Act site. Go to www.cms.gov/RegulationsandGuidance/Legislation/PaperworkReductionActof1995/PRAListing.html and search for “CMS-1728-94.”
