by Robert Jenkins

As expected, the final rule setting the Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2006 has recently been announced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Join speakers from Boyd and Nicholas, experts in the field of home health and Medicare reimbursement, to get a better understanding of the new Medicare reimbursement methodology and how it will affect your hospice agency in this special 60-minute audio conference "Hospice Medicare Reimbursement Rates and the New 2006 Wage Index." The program is scheduled for Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

MANASQUAN, NJ (PRWEB) October 12, 2005 -- As expected, the final rule setting the Hospice Wage Index for Fiscal Year 2006 has recently been announced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The new hospice wage index will be used to reflect local differences in area wage level by adjusting payment rates for hospices under the Medicare programs. The CMS identifies the revised labor market and metropolitan core based statistical areas.

There are the major issues with respect to the new definitions and hospice executives need to become familiar with the how labor market areas are defined under the new rules that complicate certain terminology. There are areas which will experience a decrease in their wage index, but there are also areas which will experience an increase.

Panelists from Boyd and Nicholas, experts in the field of home health and Medicare reimbursement, will review the new Medicare reimbursement methodology and how it will affect Hospice agencies in this special 60-minute audio conference "Hospice Medicare Reimbursement Rates and the New 2006 Wage Index." The program is scheduled for Thursday, October 20, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Agenda:
* Review of the CMS revised labor market and metropolitan core based statistical areas
* The changes to the Medicare hospice wage index that were proposed as a result of revised definitions of geographical statistical areas
* The new provisions brought about by the Medicare Modernization Act
* How the labor market areas are defined under the new rules
* Why some areas will experience a decrease in their wage index and other areas will experience an increase
