Hospice charting software for Phoenix agencies
LCD-aligned visit notes, HOPE assessment tracking, and audit-defensible documentation — built for Maricopa County hospice nurses.
Medicare MAC: Noridian Healthcare Solutions (Jurisdiction F) · Serving agencies throughout Maricopa County and the Phoenix metro
Phoenix and Maricopa County represent one of the most distinctive hospice markets in the country. The greater Phoenix metro is home to one of the largest concentrations of retirement communities in the United States — Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, and Peoria are home to hundreds of thousands of seniors — and the resulting hospice patient population skews toward the very old, with long chronic illness trajectories and multi-comorbidity presentations.
Phoenix hospice agencies operate under Noridian Healthcare Solutions (Jurisdiction F), which administers Medicare for Arizona, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Noridian's LCD criteria for hospice are aligned with the CMS national framework, with the same emphasis on diagnosis-specific clinical thresholds, PPS documentation, and functional decline that governs hospice eligibility nationally.
The Phoenix heat creates a unique clinical context as well: summer temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, which can accelerate dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and cardiopulmonary distress in hospice patients. Nurses visiting home-based patients in Phoenix summers need to document temperature exposure, hydration status, and any heat-related exacerbations as part of the clinical picture.
What NotePush does for Phoenix 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 Phoenix hospice agencies
Does NotePush work with Noridian's documentation requirements for Arizona hospice agencies?
Yes. NotePush is built around CMS national LCD criteria, which Noridian (Jurisdiction F) follows for Arizona hospice. The documentation framework — PPS, ADL status, diagnosis-specific thresholds — is the same whether you're in Phoenix, Tucson, or Flagstaff. The audit tool surfaces the specific language that survives Noridian ADR review.
Phoenix has a very large retirement community population. Does NotePush handle the documentation complexity of very elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions?
This is NotePush's core strength. The eligibility worksheet evaluates a patient against multiple LCD criteria simultaneously. A 94-year-old resident of Sun City with CHF, COPD, CKD, and Type 2 DM can be evaluated for the strongest hospice eligibility basis, not just the primary diagnosis. The note generator synthesizes all active conditions into a clinical narrative that reflects the full picture of terminal decline.
How does NotePush handle documentation for patients in large Phoenix retirement communities like Sun City?
NotePush distinguishes between care settings — home, ALF, SNF, inpatient hospice — and the visit note adjusts accordingly. Sun City residents in independent living vs. assisted living or skilled nursing would be documented differently. The patient profile captures the care setting, and the LCD evaluation applies the same clinical thresholds regardless of where the patient lives.
