[FAQs] The 2023 hospice final rule: Understanding payment rate & regulatory updates

Written by Katherine Morrison, RN, MSN, CHPN, Director, Hospice Consulting Operations, WellSky

On July 27, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a final rule that increased hospice payment rates for fiscal year 2023 by 3.8% and finalized an annual payment cap per patient (also an increase from FY 2022 to FY 2023).

WellSky hospice regulatory expert, Katherine Morrison, RN, MSN, CHPN, recently presented a webinar that broke down the hospice final rule and explained how it may affect hospice organizations. The webinar is now available to watch on-demand. Now, in a new tip sheet, Katherine answers frequently asked questions about the hospice final rule.

You'll get answers to these questions and more:
  • What is the updated Service Intensity Add-On (SIA) rate for FY 2023?
  • Could the rate amount change again and be less than the 3.8%?
  • What are the conditions of participation that surveyors will be focusing on?
