Home Care Answers is a company that is entirely dedicated to one simple concept: Legitimately maximizing your revenue for each and every home care episode. We also help you keep all you earn for every episode by insuring that you are compliant with all rules and regulations to the highest ethical, legal and moral standards.
In 2010 alone we reviewed 15,395 files and helped generate an average increase of $564.44 per review. Meaning additional revenue for agencies of $8,689,553.80. Revenue that otherwise would have never been claimed due to just a few simple errors in OASIS answers and diagnoses coding. We would be pleased to help you maximize your revenue as well.
Home Care Answers believes good is the enemy to great and we can help you be great!
We accomplish this by excelling in two key areas. The first area is complete & accurate OASIS understanding; All of our reviewers are Registered Nurses with years of Home Care experience, as well as Clinical Oasis Specialist-Certified (COS-C) credentials. The second area is accurate ICD-9-CM diagnoses coding; Our reviewers are professional coders with Home Care Specialist-Diagnosis certification (HCS-D) credentials. Each of our reviewers has been reviewing clinical documentation including OASIS and coding for years.
Most agencies are not claiming all the revenue they should be collecting due to simple inaccuracies in OASIS answers and average coding, resulting in a lower case-mix weight. This is especially true of agencies who try to automate their coding and OASIS reviews with available software. Software is a great tool only if you want automated mediocrity. Software simply cannot "think" like a human. The real problem is that most agencies don't know they are leaving revenue unclaimed. Clinicians are often too optimistic about patient conditions when they first meet them, which translates directly to your agency in average case-mix weights and less money to your agency. Vigilant accuracy based on indepth knowledge of both OASIS and diagnoses coding that we provide is the key to your enhanced success. In 2012 CMS has once again decreased Home Health agency revenue. Can you really afford to leave anything unclaimed ever, let alone with another reduction in your revenue? We can help you earn many times more than that with our services. Our services literally pay for themselves many times over!
Still struggling with OASIS-C? Do all of your clinicians understand all the rules and questions? Are you comfortable with how payments are figured? If you are leaving that up to your software and your understanding is lacking at all, then be prepared to leave a lot of money in CMS' pocket instead of yours. Remember, automated mediocrity is what you'll get. You can be assured that we understand these issues. You can also be confident that with our skills and love of this work that the money you work so hard to earn will not be lost due to misunderstandings of the rules. We really do love this work and it shows! So far we are helping companies earn about 1000% return on investment. You won't find that anywhere else.
