BHCon2026 returns August 26–28 as the largest behavioral health conference in the Southeast, bringing together the full cast and crew of the mental health and substance use field. This year’s theme, Lights, Camera, Action!, celebrates the unsung heroes behind every success story in mental health and substance use care: the peer support specialists, clinicians, HR leaders, administrators, and frontline staff who are stars in their own right. Every role matters. Every contribution moves the story forward. In behavioral health, every day is a live performance. There are no second takes when someone is in crisis, and no small parts when lives are on the line. At BHCon2026, attendees connect with colleagues from every corner of the field, gain fresh perspectives from inspiring leaders, and leave with the tools, insight, and energy to take center stage in their own community.

Join SimiTree at the HHCN & HMEB FUTURE Conference — a premier gathering for the home-based care and medical equipment ecosystem.  We are breaking down industry silos to create a unified forum where home health, home care, hospice, and home medical equipment (HME) leaders can collaborate on the future of care delivery. This integration reflects the reality of today’s market: a more connected, cross-disciplinary approach is required to drive innovation, navigate regulatory shifts, and improve patient outcomes.

SimiTree is proud to attend and present at the FHPCA 41st Annual Forum, taking place August 26–28 in Orlando, Florida. Bringing together hospice and palliative care professionals from across the industry, the Forum provides an opportunity to share insights, connect with peers and explore strategies for navigating today’s evolving healthcare landscape.

Wednesday, September 2  •  11:15 AM–12:15 PM Lead with Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership (Session 1a) Home health documentation has never been under more scrutiny. Six states now operate under the Review Choice Demonstration, ADR volumes from Palmetto GBA TPE rounds remain elevated, Noridian SMRC project reviews continue to expand, and UPIC investigations carry broader authority than ever. Across every one of these programs, reviewers ask the same question: does the record support what was billed? This session illuminates exactly what reviewers look for — and exactly where agencies most often fall short. We will spend dedicated time on the Review Choice Demonstration, including Palmetto GBA's four-question framework for establishing medical necessity, the documentation bundle required for Pre-Claim Review affirmation, and the most common non-affirmation reasons paired with specific documentation fixes. We will then walk through the anatomy of a typical denial, the four most common documentation disconnects between OASIS, the 485, visit notes, and the face-to-face encounter, high-risk OASIS items, the Golden Thread that ties assessment to justification, and the building blocks of a defensible record — including pre-bill QA, education that actually changes clinician behavior, and AI-assisted audit tools. Through case studies, real denial reason codes, and side-by-side documentation comparisons, attendees will leave with concrete, applicable techniques they can implement at their agency on Monday morning. Continuing Education: 1.0 clock hours continuing education for Administrators/Alternates; 1.0 contact hour Continuing Nursing Education (CNE); 1.0 clock hour Continuing Education for Social Workers (SW) Target Audience: Medicare   Thursday, September 3  •  11:15 AM–12:15 PM Lead with Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership (Session 4d) “Lead With Purpose: Transforming Home Care Through Intentional Leadership” is a session built for every level of a home care or hospice agency — from executives and clinical managers to field nurses, home health aides, and coding and office staff. The session opens by confronting a hard truth: leadership is not a title, it is a behavior, and it shows up — or fails to show up — in the most consequential moments of patient care. Through a powerful opening story about a home health aide who hesitated to escalate a patient concern because her questions had been dismissed the week before, attendees quickly see that leadership decisions ripple directly into clinical outcomes, quality scores, and regulatory risk. The session then introduces the CARE Framework — four pillars of intentional leadership (Clarity, Accountability, Resilience, and Empathy) — and walks through how each pillar is practiced differently at every role in the agency, from the bedside to the billing office. A dedicated segment connects leadership culture directly to CMS-measured performance, showing that OASIS accuracy, HHCAHPS scores, rehospitalization rates, and staff turnover are all downstream of how leaders behave day to day. The session closes with an honest conversation about burnout, six practical sustainability tools leaders can implement immediately, and five specific Monday morning commitments that every attendee — regardless of title — can take back to their team. The goal is not inspiration for its own sake, but a room full of people who leave with something real, something named, and someone in mind. Continuing Education: 1.0 clock hours continuing education for Administrators/Alternates; 1.0 contact hours Continuing Nursing Education (CNE); 1.0 clock hour Continuing Education for Social Workers (SW) Target Audience: Medicare, Hospice, Community Care, All HCSSAs, AI/Tech, Leadership

SimiTree is excited to attend the 2026 Behavioral Health Outcomes Consortium (BHOC26), taking place September 8–10 at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California.

As a trusted partner to behavioral health organizations, SimiTree understands the growing importance of connecting clinical outcomes, operational performance, and financial sustainability.
