The current Federal FY09 budget proposal contains reductions to the reimbursement structure for hospice programs that total more than 15%.
Any cuts to the Medicare Hospice Benefit would mean drastic changes in the future for our hospice program and could limit access to this valuable end-of-life care.
You can help CareCenter—and hospice programs across the country—by contacting your legislators to preserve the hospice reimbursement structure. It’s easy to do. Just go to http://capwiz.com/nhpco and follow the directions.
Thanks for your help with this important initiative.
