Webinar Caring Smarter

People who choose a life of caring — and the organizations and communities they serve — deserve a special kind of support.

The FY25 hospice final rule:
Understanding payment rates & regulatory updates

On July 30, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the hospice final rule for fiscal year (FY) 2025. CMS is increasing per diem payments to hospice providers by 2.9%, which is more than the initial proposed increase of 2.6%. The final hospice aggregate cap also increased to $34,465.34 for FY 2025 (up from $33,494.01 from FY 2024).

Join hospice regulatory expert Katherine Morrison, RN, MSN, CHPN, for a timely webinar that will cover key elements of the hospice final rule as well as explore the changes your team needs to understand to be successful, including:

    • The payment updates
    • The new process measures for the Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP)
    • How the new Hospice Outcomes & Patient Evaluation (HOPE) tool (which will replace the Hospice Item Set) will impact hospice care delivery
    • Strategies to comply with new CMS quality standards and avoid financial penalties
