The Home Care Association of Colorado presents

“How to Discontinue Services to Clients Without Liability for Abandonment”

Presenter:

Elizabeth E. Hogue, Esq.
Health Care Attorney & Consultant

An Overview...

Home health agencies, private duty agencies, hospices and home medical equipment (HME) suppliers may discontinue services to patients for a variety of reasons.  Common reasons for discontinuation of services may include violence or threatened violence by patients and families, nonpayment for services and noncompliance by patients and/or caregivers.  When providers discontinue services they must avoid liability for abandonment.  The purpose of this seminar is to assist providers to avoid liability for abandonment when terminating services to patients.  Practical strategies, including appropriate documentation, will be emphasized.

Objectives:

• List three reasons why providers may discontinue services.
   

• Identify three requirements that must be met in order to prove abandonment.
   

• Describe three practical strategies for avoiding liability for abandonment.
