Challenges

What makes home healthcare billing hard

Authorizations
Visits beyond what is authorized are not paid, and managed-care plans each track them differently.
Period billing
Medicare home health is billed in 30-day periods, each with its own claim and deadlines.
Documentation timing
Signed orders, plans of care and face-to-face documentation must be complete before the final claim.
Filing deadlines
A late Notice of Admission reduces payment for the whole period.

How Ace helps

Revenue Cycle Management
Admission notices, authorizations and period claims tracked against their deadlines.
Medical Coding
Diagnosis coding that supports the plan of care and the period payment.
Denial Management
Documentation and authorization denials worked back to the missing piece.

Questions

Can you track Notice of Admission deadlines?

Yes. Deadlines are tracked for every admission, because a late notice reduces payment for the period.

How do you handle 30-day periods?

Each period is tracked from start to final claim, with documentation and authorizations checked before billing.

What documentation do you need before billing?

Signed orders, the plan of care and any required face-to-face documentation. Anything missing is followed up before the claim goes out.

Do you bill managed-care plans as well as Medicare?

Yes. Each plan's authorization and billing rules are followed separately.
