SimiTree determines hospice cap liabilities and risks while helping to build healthy buffers.

Hospice providers are required to self-report their aggregate hospice cap liability each fiscal year and pay back CMS for any excess.

SimiTree offers a variety of specialized services designed to make the process easier for providers to determine and report cap liability, set in place admitting and referral policies designed to reduce ongoing liability and select the best repayment option for any overpayments.

The experts at SimiTree also work with buyers and sellers to perform all due diligence related to hospice transactions.
