HPCAI Introduces Affinity Program with Hospice Compliance Network
Recognizing the importance of regulatory compliance in the effective and efficient management of today's hospice programs, the HPCAI Board approved a relationship with HPCAI and Hospice Compliance Network (HCN). The relationship is designed to meet HPCAI members' needs for timely, accurate compliance information by providing HPCAI members with a 40 percent reduced rate for HCN membership (regularly $150 annually).
HCN was founded by Jay Mahoney, former president of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and a nationally recognized hospice expert and is managed by the Summit Business Group. HCN services include a bi-monthly electronic newsletter focused exclusively on regulatory compliance for hospices, hospice compliance electronic alerts for issues of immediate interest and importance, access to the HCN password protected Web site, and the ability to participate in the HCN Listserv that allows for peer to peer compliance networking for HCN members as well as archives to previous discussion. Hospices can also separately purchase the Hospice Compliance Line that participating hospices may use as their compliance hotline.
HPCAI members currently enrolled in HCN will receive a discount upon renewal of their HCN membership. Interested HPCAI members new to HCN may join through the HCN Web site by clicking on the State Affinity Programs page where you will find the HPCAI application. The annual membership fee to HPCAI members for HCN will be $90 annually. Please contact HPCAI or HCN (800.689.6747) with any questions.
