Industry Notes:
Tune In For New F2F Form Information
Published on Fri May 08, 2015
CMS reschedules canceled call.
Home health agencies can find out more about the newest face-to-face physician encounter form later this month.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services canceled its April 28 Special Open Door Forum on the form at the last minute, but now it has rescheduled the call for May 20. It will be the final forum on the draft form of the “Home Health Electronic Clinical Template and Home Health Paper Clinical Template,” CMS says in a notice.
CMS will soon post dial in information and a link to the forms at www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Monitoring-Programs/Medicare-FFS-Compliance-Programs/Medical-Review/Home_Health_Medical_Review_Update.html.
