Descriptiontext

Simione Healthcare Consultants, operating commercially as SimiTree, is a US-based private healthcare consulting and technology firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Hamden, Connecticut. The company is purpose-built around three adjacent post-acute care verticals — home health, hospice, and behavioral health (including ABA providers and substance abuse treatment) — serving an installed base of 16,000+ agencies with 750 active clients currently engaged. Its service portfolio spans the full operational lifecycle of a care agency: revenue cycle management, billing, coding and OASIS assessment, compliance and regulatory risk, cost reporting, credentialing and contracting, data analytics, mergers and acquisitions advisory, and recruiting and interim leadership placement.

The technology layer consists of two clinician-designed AI products. CLARITY: AI-Driven Revenue Cycle delivers stated 90%+ cash forecast accuracy through predictive analytics on structured revenue cycle data, while SARA: AI-Powered Coding & OASIS applies natural language processing to clinical documentation for compliance-ready coding and OASIS assessment. These AI capabilities are layered atop a Data Analytics & Reporting Tools suite and integrate with — or stand alongside — the firm's outsourced services, indicating a hybrid services-plus-software commercialization strategy.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (consulting, coding, compliance), managed services (full RCM outsourcing), and emerging recurring/subscription revenue from AI tools (CLARITY, SARA). Distribution is sales-led and domestic (US), combining enterprise direct outreach (phone: 800.949.0388), a client portal, and a content marketing engine of case studies, eBooks, white papers, webinars, and industry events. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm previously operated as Simione Healthcare Consultants (acquired Healthcare Concepts in July 2017) and has since repositioned under the SimiTree brand to reflect its broader, tech-enabled platform positioning.
