On November 21, 2 p.m. ET, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a Hospice Technical Informational Call for Software Vendors and Developers.

During the call CMS will review the Hospice Outcome and Patient Evaluation guidance manual, data submission specifications, iQIES system and validation utility tool, and answer audience questions about the implementation of HOPE.

Members are strongly encouraged to make sure their software vendor is participating in the call and request an update from the vendor on their progress to support implementation. To register for the call click here.
