Overview
Late last year HB 286 was signed into law by former Governor Kasich.  The new law will create a Palliative Care Council which will educate healthcare professionals and the community about Palliative Care.  In addition the new law will allow Palliative Care non-hospice patients to be seen in the Hospice Inpatient Unit for pain and symptom management.  
Ohio Department of Health is currently meeting with stakeholders to create eligibility rules for Palliative Care patients seen in the Hospice In-Patient Unit.  Even though the rules have not been developed, the Palliative Care law will take effect March 20, 2019.
Join Kathy Royer and Christine Kenney as they discuss the new law and the impact for Hospice providers.
