HOPE Leads the Way

At Simple, Netsmart and McBee, we’re committed to equipping hospice providers with the tools and insights needed to thrive under this regulatory update.

Still have questions about HOPE?
If you have questions about preparing for HOPE (let's face it — don't we all!), check out our HOPE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). This collection of answers to questions about compliance, submission deadlines, workforce prep and more is intended to help you and your team feel more confident about the launch of HOPE this October.
With the 4% revenue penalty still in play for failure to meet submission requirements, it's never too early to start preparing. Visit simple.health/hope today to explore how SimpleConnect™ can simplify your CMS submissions and keep your focus on patient care.
