Merchandise Description
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is pleased to offer the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) most up-to-date Medicare surveyor guidelines, the State Operations Manual (SOM).  This was formerly Publication 7, now an on-line only manual, Publication 100-7.  Appendix M is specific to providers of the Medicare Hospice Benefit.  The regulations have not changed but CMS has included additional language to reflect some of the changes made by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Modernization and Improvement Act of 2003 and previously cleared Program Memorandum updates and survey & certification letters through December 30, 2003.  CMS will continue to make changes as issues develop and are resolved.  These will appear in the on-line only Manual.  This document contains the pertinent portions from Pub. 100-7 that affect hospice in Chapters:  
1 - Program Background and Responsibilities
2 - The Certification Process
3 - Additional Program Activities
5 - Complaint Procedures
Appendix M  - Guidance to Surveyors:  Hospice.
