October marks the full HOPE Tool transition for hospices nationwide. This a change that will impact every admission and discharge beginning October 1, 2025. But HOPE is just one part of the FY 2026 Hospice Final Rule... In our recent webinar, SimiTree experts Maureen Kelleher and Nick Corbi broke down everything providers need to know:

- New payment rates and wage index changes by state
- Updated compliance rules for F2F attestation and admissions
- The October 1, 2025 HOPE implementation deadline
- Steps agencies must take now to avoid penalties and revenue disruption

📌 Whether you’re a large multi-site provider or a rural agency, this recap blog outlines the action steps your hospice needs to take before October 1. We are here to help you!
