Lynn Labarta, Vice President of Post-Acute Revenue Cycle Management at SimiTree.

In a recent episode of Home Care Today, we spoke with Lynn Labarta. She’s the Vice President of Post-Acute Revenue Cycle Management at SimiTree. Lynn brought a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. She shared how her team helps home health and hospice agencies nationwide with billing, coding, and compliance services.

With over 60 years of experience, SimiTree has become a trusted name in the home care industry. Their mission? Ultimately, to help agencies get paid accurately and on time, so they can focus on what matters most: patient care.

At 21st Century Health Care Consultants, we bring on expert guests like Lynn for one important reason: to help entrepreneurs like you build the confidence and knowledge needed to start a successful home care agency. There are a lot of moving parts when launching your business, but you don’t have to do it alone.

What Does SimiTree Do?

To begin with, SimiTree specializes in helping home health and hospice agencies get paid accurately and on time. In addition, they handle the complex world of billing and coding, ensuring that agencies meet all the necessary requirements from insurance companies and Medicare. This allows healthcare providers to focus on what matters most: delivering quality care to their patients.

What Sets SimiTree Apart?

Importantly, according to Lynn, the key difference is education. The home care industry is highly regulated, and staying compliant can be overwhelming. That’s where SimiTree shines. They don’t just do the work—they teach agencies and their staff how to understand and follow clinical and insurance guidelines.

This educational approach empowers agencies to become more self-sufficient and confident in their operations. Consequently, it also helps reduce errors and delays in billing, which means faster payments and better financial health for the agency.

In home care, understanding the rules is critical. Specifically, Medicare and insurance companies have strict guidelines, and failing to follow them can lead to denied claims or even legal issues. Fortunately, SimiTree’s team of specialists knows these regulations inside and out. They translate complex policies into clear, actionable steps that agencies can follow.
