Home Care Answers was developed while working for a home care agency that was willing to play to win at the time PPS and OASIS were introduced back in 2000.

The agency, like many other agencies, was on track to lose $300,000 a year from coding and other typical errors. We were asked to assist in stopping the errors and in the first year we were able to totally eliminate all denials (a $300,000 savings), and make an additional $660,000 by reviewing all OASIS for accuracy, assigning accurate ICD-9-CM codes, and working with individual clinicians to help them increase their understanding of OASIS.

All told, that was an 11% net increase for the company, and that was without any growth to speak of in patient census.

Another great benefit is that the home health compare scores (available through the CMS website) showed impressive improvements after just a short time. Many of the home health compare scores have shown up to10% increases in nearly all of the possible improvement areas, an important thing to remember for pay for performance time.

Currently, many of our agencies that we partner with are earning additional revenue of 10 times or more than what we are charging! That is revenue that they would have left on the table had they not been using our services. While we cannot guarantee this in all cases, you can have the utmost confidence that you will not be leaving any money behind.

While we started back in 2000, you might wonder how we're doing now. We are helping our partners average around 1000% return on investment and have been for several years. In 2010 alone we reviewed over 15,000 files and the average increase for the agencies was over $552.00 on each file. Meaning well over $8.8 million in additional revenue that otherwise would have never been claimed due to just a few simple errors. Why not get your share! Let us help you collect everything CMS offers you with confidence that all is correct.

This is not a side business for us, this is our only business so our focus is in the right place every time.

We have helped agencies through multiple ADR's as well. Every time the agencies that we have served have come through with near perfection. How do you fare with your ADR's? Is it just awful to see one get picked? We can help change that whole feeling into one of confidence!
