Frequently asked questions about SIA IQ

What is the hospice Service Intensity Add-on (SIA)?
The SIA is an additional Medicare payment for direct RN and medical-social-services visits provided during the last 7 days of a hospice patient's life, on top of the routine home care rate. SIA IQ helps hospices anticipate when a patient is likely in that window.
How do hospices capture more SIA revenue?
By making sure qualifying RN and social-worker visits actually happen during the final-days window — which means anticipating when that window is. SIA IQ predicts length of stay from your existing documents so visits are timed when they qualify.
When do visits qualify for the SIA add-on?
Qualifying visits are direct care by a registered nurse or a medical social worker, at the routine home care level, during the last 7 days of life. SIA IQ forecasts that window from the documents you already have, so the right visits are planned in time.
