Hospice charting software for Jacksonville agencies
LCD-aligned visit notes, HOPE assessment tracking, and audit-defensible documentation — built for Duval County hospice nurses.
Medicare MAC: First Coast Service Options (Jurisdiction N) · Serving agencies throughout Duval County and Northeast Florida
Jacksonville is geographically the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, and its hospice market reflects that scale. Duval County spans over 840 square miles, and agencies here face a legitimate logistical challenge: a nurse's day can include visits in dense urban neighborhoods near downtown, rural stretches in western Duval, and coastal communities in the Jacksonville Beaches area. Visit documentation in these varied settings has to hold up equally well regardless of setting.
Duval County agencies operate under First Coast Service Options (FCSO), which administers Medicare Part A and B for Florida, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. First Coast has historically been active in hospice claim review, and agencies in the Jacksonville area are well-advised to maintain documentation that proactively addresses LCD criteria — particularly for long-stay patients in benefit periods 3 and beyond where the face-to-face requirement applies.
Florida is also one of the most competitive hospice markets in the country. The state's large elderly population generates significant hospice volume, and agencies compete intensely for referrals from hospital discharge planners and case managers. Documentation quality — and the ability to demonstrate audit-defensibility — can be a differentiator in physician and health system relationships.
What NotePush does for Jacksonville hospice nurses
LCD-aligned notes
Every visit note maps to the Medicare eligibility criteria for the patient's diagnosis. No boilerplate — specific, auditable language.
HOPE assessment tracking
Dashboard alerts for open Admission, HUV1, HUV2, and Discharge windows. CMS requires 90%+ submission to avoid the 4-pt APU penalty.
Recertification narratives
AI generates recert narratives from visit trends — PPS, weight, ADL status — not copy-forward language that flags in ADR review.
Note audit tool
Paste any note and see exactly which LCD criteria it meets, what's missing, and what an ADR reviewer would flag.

Questions from Jacksonville hospice agencies
Florida hospice agencies are frequently audited. How does NotePush help agencies in Jacksonville survive FCSO review?
NotePush generates documentation specifically structured around the clinical criteria that FCSO reviewers look for in ADR and post-payment audit review: serial PPS documentation at every visit, named ADL dependencies (not just 'dependent in ADLs'), diagnosis-specific criteria language, and serial measurements that show decline over time. The audit tool identifies gaps before submission, not after an ADR arrives.
Jacksonville is huge geographically. Can our nurses use NotePush across all of Duval County?
Yes — NotePush works in any mobile browser and isn't limited by geography. A nurse visiting a patient in rural western Duval County uses the same app as one in a downtown Jacksonville SNF. For areas with spotty connectivity in the outer parts of the county, notes can be drafted while the page is loaded and submitted when connectivity resumes.
Our Jacksonville agency is in its third benefit period for several patients. What documentation does NotePush help with for BP3+ recertifications?
Benefit Period 3 and beyond requires a face-to-face encounter (within 30 days before the period start), a recertification narrative showing continued decline, and documentation that explains periods of stability if they occurred. NotePush tracks benefit period status for every patient and generates recertification narratives from visit data — PPS trend, weight loss, ADL progression — rather than copy-forward language that flags in review.
