Medicare oversight of hospice providers has never been greater. The current increase in Targeted Probe & Educate (TPE), SMRC, UPIC, and other post-payment audits resulting in higher claim denial rates and punitive sanctions requires hospices to defend their care and their claims through well-developed, organized, and persuasive appeals. A successful appeal requires more than just regulatory and clinical knowledge — it requires a systematic approach to analyzing the record, organizing evidence, and presenting a compelling case that withstands regulatory scrutiny and doesn’t open the organization to further investigation.

This webinar is designed specifically for hospice executives, owners, compliance professionals, appeals specialists, clinical reviewers, and managers who are responsible for understanding, overseeing, or preparing Medicare claim appeals. Participants will learn a practical, repeatable process for developing strong appeal packages — from reviewing denial rationales and evaluating the medical record to constructing clear, evidence-based and compliance-driven narratives in a reviewer-friendly submission. Whether you're responding to a TPE, SMRC, UPIC, ADR, or other denial, you'll leave with tools and workflows that improve efficiency, consistency, and confidence throughout the appeals process.
