Hospice Nuts & Bolts© is a comprehensive 101/201‑level program designed for hospice clinicians and leaders who need a strong, working command of hospice regulatory, eligibility, and documentation requirements. This live‑virtual training reinforces core compliance essentials, including the Medicare Hospice Benefit, eligibility and documentation best practices, Conditions of Participation, and interdisciplinary group excellence.

Hospice compliance hinges on details — especially how eligibility is supported, documented, and communicated across the interdisciplinary group. This course focuses on those critical details and how they surface in day‑to‑day hospice operations, medical record review, and survey oversight.

Delivered live‑virtual through expert‑led instruction with active, real‑time interaction, the course walks participants through the core elements that surveyors, reviewers, and auditors routinely evaluate — and where hospices most often struggle. Participants are encouraged to ask questions throughout, with real‑time clarification and discussion led by the instructor.
