Hospice and Nursing Home/Assisted Living Contracting Toolkit
As the mix of hospice patients changes and more hospice patients are living in assisted living facilities and nursing homes, these relationships become even more important. Likewise, the need for general inpatient care cannot always be met in hospitals, making the relationship with skilled nursing facilities crucial. Given the interest that the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has exhibited in these arrangements, it is very important that careful contracting be part of the hospice's and the nursing facility's operations.
This Toolkit is easy to use and provides:
Sample contracts with extensive drafter's notes for customization on general inpatient care, routine home care and respite care in nursing facilities and routine home care in the assisted living setting.
-
Summaries of important regulatory and reimbursement issues
-
Copies of key federal regulations and guidance
-
Tips for selecting and evaluating nursing homes and assisted living facilities
-
A CD that will allow for quick customization of the agreements

It is not intended to be, nor should it serve as a substitute for legal advice.
