With the 2018 hospice cap reporting year ended <\/strong>as of Sept. 30, now\u2019s the time for hospice providers to deal with the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Item #1: <\/strong>Hospices must report their cap level and any associated liabilities (overpayments that must be repaid) by Feb. 28, 2019, based on data obtained from the Provider Statistical & Review (PS&R) system no earlier than Jan.1, notes consulting firm Advantage Healthcare Consulting <\/strong>in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can start estimating your cap liability now, since Medicare will have processed most 2018 claims by Oct. 31, offers Advantage Healthcare. But \u201cremember, the computed cap will continue to decline as patients served during the 2018 cap year continue to be served after September 30,\u201d the firm explains. \u201cAccordingly, any cap liability will continue to grow or a cap liability could result when none currently exists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Item #2: <\/strong>\u201cMost hospices will be subjected to recalculation of Medicare cap liabilities by the MAC for prior cap years within the next few months,\u201d Advantage Healthcare points out. \u201cCap liability calculations are subject to recalculation for a period of three (3) years from the last date at which time a cap liability (or increased cap liability) was determined. Hospices with prior year cap liabilities should be on alert for recalculation by the MAC and any requests for additional repayments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
