Hospice patients are automatically excluded, but other frail patients with advanced illness can only be excluded at this time by coding and billing specific diagnostic codes within specified parameters.

Laurie King, RN, HealthChoice will present a lunchtime webinar on Documenting Frailty and Advanced Illnessto explain the background, process, and value behind documenting and reporting these diagnoses.
