Palmetto GBA 2025 Hospice Workshop

VIRTUAL on 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.
