How Medsynthea solves Hospice in Wisconsin
Hospice billing requires a signed Hospice Election Statement from the patient, a physician-certified terminal prognosis of ≤6 months if the disease runs its normal course, and an interdisciplinary care plan updated every 60 days. Medicare reimburses hospice under four care levels: Routine Home Care (RHC), Continuous Home Care (CHC), General Inpatient Care (GIC), and Respite Care — each with distinct nursing visit and documentation minimums. Medsynthea tracks care level transitions, validates election statement and recertification timing, and flags concurrent curative treatment that would void hospice election.
