2020 Palmetto GBA Home Health and Hospice Virtual Workshops
Palmetto GBA’s 2020 Home Health and Hospice Workshop series is coming to North and South Carolina. These virtual workshops are designed for home health and hospice providers and their staff to equip them with the tools they need to be successful with Medicare billing, coverage and documentation requirements.
