On March 11, 2015, CMS is hosting a call to discuss paper and clinical templates intended to assist physicians and practitioners in documenting patient eligibility for Medicare home health benefits. In announcing the call, CMS notes that the fiscal year 2014 Comprehensive Error Rate Testing (CERT) program identified a high proportion of claims with inadequate documentation supporting the face-to-face encounter requirement. Additional CMS calls on the templates will be held on April 8 and May 6, 2015.
