In the Benchmarking Application (BA) Version 15, there are 15 categories of vendors that tell you the two main things you want to know about vendors when making selections: How much does it cost? Are users happy with the vendor? Vendors are critical to an organization. They represent YOU! They are part of your vow […]
I am not trying to be condescending, but I can prove this unsettling nudge with a single question: “What is the median cost of Medications on an NPR% basis in this country?” Go ask any of your Clinical Leaders at random. Go do this now. I will wait…. (Pause) OK! Did your Clinical Leader know […]
Fiscal Intermediary’s are not obligated to reimburse you the legal Medicare rate if you bill them less. Between now and the end of the year it is critical that you adjust your billing rates and re-evaluate your contractual allowances. MVI encourages all Hospices to bill a “normal and customary” rate well above the amount set […]

This is a teaching concept, and all compensation systems teach (even bad ones […]
An organization’s compensation systems are the most POWEFUL tools to shape behavior and create healthy and happy Hospice cultures. However, most leaders can’t get past the “fear barrier.” Therefore, only the elite of our movement use them insightfully to create fair and rewarding systems…systems that make management vastly easier because they are STRUCTURAL and do […]
Payroll is hard. Regulations governing payroll and human resources evolve too quickly for average accounting teams to adapt to.
