In this podcast, Edo Banach, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, talked about the positive and negative aspects of the proposed hospice payment rule for fiscal year 2023. He also addressed growing support for the community palliative care benefit and the government’s concerns regarding hospices' long lengths of stay and high discharge rates. Banach advised members “to do the best job they can do at delivering the benefit every day” and said those hospices dedicated to bereavement services rise above the rest.Follow us on social media:Twitter: @McKHomeCareFacebook: McKnight's Home CareLinkedIn: McKnight's Home CareInstagram: mcknights_homecare Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
