 illness and the co-morbidities impacting care must be coded. CMS recently c
 ommented that they intend to develop a case mix system for hospice much lik
 e the Prospective Payment System developed for home health. To get accurate
  information for the development of the case mix scoring system\, CMS needs
  hospices to code co-morbidities. Never before has it been more important t
 o get the diagnosis coding correct in the hospice industry. Non-compliance 
 and sloppiness will hurt your payment.\n\n	-Compare the requirements in the
