Hospice Solutions

Protect revenue. Simplify hospice billing. Improve cash flow.

Hospice billing has unique documentation and clinical requirements. Valiant Lifecare combines hospice-trained coders, clinical auditors and RCM technologists to ensure every election, level of care and service is supported and billed correctly — reducing denials, accelerating collections and minimizing audit risk.

What we do for hospice providers

We deliver a hospice-first revenue cycle program that handles eligibility and benefits verification, hospice election documentation review, clinical validation for levels of care, claims assembly and submission, payer follow-up, denial management, and AR resolution. Services are designed to integrate with interdisciplinary team workflows so clinical priorities remain central while revenue integrity is guaranteed.

Eligibility & Benefits Verification

Documentation Audit

Validate election statements, face-to-face notes, and physician certification for clinical sufficiency.

Claim Build

Create claims with required clinical attachments and correct service-level codes for the appropriate level of care.

Submit & Track

Submit claims, reconcile ERA/ERA data, and monitor adjudication progress.

Denial Triage

Categorize denials by root cause (documentation, eligibility, bundling) and prioritize high-recovery actions.

Appeal & Recovery

Provide supporting documents, prepare appeals and secure reversals or corrected payments.

Continuous Improvement

Deliver insights and provider education to reduce repeated denial drivers and strengthen documentation going forward.
