Day 1     Judi Lund Person    11:30-01:00      

Judi serves as a key contact with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, interfacing with hospice payment policy, Part D, survey and certification, contractor management, and program integrity functions, among others. She also represents hospice and palliative care with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other federal agencies and many national organizations. Recent issues include advocating for changes to the election statement and addendum forms and implementation, advocating for a new process for Part D notification of hospice election, addressing confusion about attending physicians, and ongoing work with the Medicare Administrative Contractors on hospice payment policy issues.
She works daily with hospice providers and state hospice organizations on the ever-increasing array of regulatory and compliance issues and translates complex regulatory language into actionable “plain English” for hospice providers. She works with her team at NHPCO to develop regulatory and compliance tools for hospice providers each year, including hospice payment rates and wage index values and compliance guides to assist providers in achieving compliance with various federal rules and regulations.
Judi graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in Sociology and has a Masters in Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
