To kick off National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, we’re talking with Judi Lund Person, BA, MBH, CHC, NHPCO’s Vice President, Regulatory and Compliance.  Judi is the voice of NHPCO and hospice providers across the U.S. in discussions with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

According to the NHPCO website, Judi “develops updated tools for hospice providers, including guides to hospice payment rates and wage index values.  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’s a wonderful part of the NHPCO podcast.  The Heart of Hospice was so glad to sit down with Judi and talk about all things hospice.  You can find more information on the work of NHPCO at nhpco.org.  Check out theheartofhospice.com for more information on end of life care, hospice philosophy, self care, and advance care planning.  Remember, you are The Heart of Hospice!
