Per-diem reimbursement with the eligibility discipline it requires.

Hospice operations live and die by eligibility documentation, level-of-care accuracy, and cap management. The financial model is straightforward; the operational requirements behind it are not.

Operational pain

Where the operation breaks down.

01

Eligibility and recertification documentation

Face-to-face encounter timing, narrative quality, and IDG compliance under constant scrutiny.

02

Level of care and GIP billing

Routine, GIP, respite, and continuous care requiring distinct documentation and billing rules.

03

Hospice cap exposure

Cap calculations and patient mix monitoring with limited operational visibility.

Reimbursement complexity

The payer landscape, plainly.

Per-diem rates, NOE/NOTR timing penalties, sequential billing rules, and cap management make hospice billing one of the least forgiving environments in post-acute care.

Staffing reality

You cannot hire your way through this.

We supply hospice-specialized billing and compliance staff who understand IDG cycles and CTI requirements, not general healthcare billers.
