Palmetto GBA 2025 Hospice Workshop
DATE: Tuesday, June 3, 2025
TIME: 9am - 12:15pm
VIRTUAL via TEAMS
HPCAA is pleased to partner with Palmetto GBA on a 2025 Hospice Workshop series titled “Thrive
with Medicare in 2025.” These workshops are designed to equip hospice providers with the tools
they need to be successful in Medicare billing, coverage and documentation requirements. The
“Thrive” workshop will provide insight for hospice agency staff at all levels.
Errors in billing and responding to additional documentation requests can be costly. During the
workshop series, Palmetto GBA will provide information related to the most common errors and
why these errors occur. We will also provide tips to avoid these errors. Palmetto GBA’s goal is to
educate providers on the most up-to-date information and apply skillful techniques to their
documentation and billing practices.
