The Missouri hospice rule sets no retention period, so the Agency keeps clinical records for six years after death or discharge or six years from the last date of service billed to MO HealthNet, whichever is later.","inShort":["Write up every visit and phone call yourself, under your own log-in, by the end of the day and never later than the end of the next day.","Never erase or delete.
