Medicare ends end of life counseling gains pay rule
Medicare will pay healthcare professionals to discuss end of life decisions with patients starting next year. Doctors can bill 86 dollars for the first half hour and 75 dollars for each additional 30 minutes with possible follow ups. A Kaiser poll shows broad support but low practice rates. Families still face hospital driven decisions and treatment culture. Prepare legal documents and update powers of attorney and advance directives.
