We have both inpatient and outpatient aspects to our program. We have not been able to satisfy our need for reimbursements in this setting due to the start-up time to fill our schedules and due to the travel time needed to see our outpatients. We will be working on efficiencies to the program focussing on relationships with LTC facilities because we realized that the patients who convert to hospice (the most important revenue stream in addition to direct billings) have greater lengths of stay compared to those converted from a hospital base. I will also be attending the Texas conference in November for Level II programs. Ned Yellig, MD @ eyallig@hospiceofwake.org
