“The value of being an IL-HPCO member for VITAS Healthcare is multifaceted from education opportunities for staff at all levels, timely industry and location specific news and legislative updates, advocacy with state legislators on existing issues, introducing new legislation impacting our industry, and measurable financial benefits through Medicaid reimbursement support and direct advocacy with MCOs. The successful collection of only a few claims resulting from IL-HPCO’s efforts more than justifies the annual membership dues.”


-Douglas Irvin, Vice President of Operations, VITAS Healthcare & Past Chair of the Board of Directors, IL-HPCO
