Recertifications, the 48-hour assessment visit, the every-15-day plan of care review, the 14-day aide supervisory visit, benefit periods that end whether or not anyone signed. We looked at every hospice survey in the United States from October 2021 through March 2026 — 86,113 citations at 7,448 hospices. The dated requirements below are cited again and again.
Source: CMS hospice survey deficiency data, October 2021 – March 2026, counted from the full national file rather than a sample. The code that produced these figures, and the file itself, are yours on request.
Getting IDG notes completed on time and signed is the compliance battle administrators fight every single cycle. The deadlines are unforgiving — a late recertification or a missed face-to-face inside the window can render an entire benefit period non-covered — and the work of chasing each clinician falls on the office.
ComplyWell moves that burden off your desk. It knows every deadline for every patient, knows which discipline owes which note, and sends the reminder to the clinician — so the notes come in because the system asked, not because you did.
Your EMR emails us a scheduled export, and every new admission in it starts the clock. ComplyWell confirms each ordered discipline has a visit date within five days of election and flags the ones that do not — before the gap becomes a survey deficiency, and without asking a clinician to open anything.
Every hospice deadline, surfaced early.
Recerts, the 15-day interdisciplinary group review, the 15-day care-plan review, assessment updates and benefit-period boundaries — all tracked per patient and surfaced before they're due, not after.
The brief names the discipline and the date.
Each morning's brief names the patient, the requirement, the date it is due and the person who owes it — so nothing is discovered missing at the meeting.
The system chases the clinician, not you.
The morning brief goes to the person who owes the work, naming the patient, the requirement and the date it is due — with a timestamped record of every send, so every survey question already has an answer.
Certification and recertification timing, the interdisciplinary group's review of the plan of care every fifteen days, the comprehensive assessment update, and the plan of care itself — these are the timeline rules surveyors and payers check first. ComplyWell keeps them visible and on schedule so the agency is never explaining a missed window after the fact.
Each morning the brief is emailed to the responsible clinician and logged, so the accountability trail exists whether or not anyone in the office had to follow up.
Your EMR emails us a scheduled report — an export it already knows how to produce — and the timeline builds itself from the admission, certification and visit dates inside it. Scheduling that report is a setting in your own system: no interface to build, no API access, and nothing for your EMR vendor to approve.
Tell us which EMR you run and we will send back the exact written setup for it — no call to schedule, nothing to install.
