Certifying Physician
A physician is an attending physician for certification purposes if he/she is the physician (who may be employed by a hospice program) who the patient identifies as having the most significant role in the determination and delivery of medical care to the patient at the time the patient makes an election to receive hospice care. For a patient who does not have an attending physician, the medical director of the hospice program or a staff physician can perform an attending physician's certification functions.
