What are the key features to look for in a home care billing service?

In a nutshell:

The best home care billing services offer end-to-end claims management, Medicaid and VA expertise, EVV and authorization integration, denial resolution, payment posting, payer-specific compliance, and transparent, performance-based pricing.

The (slightly) longer version:

Not all billing services are created equal—especially in home care, where Medicaid, VA, and managed care plans all have unique requirements. Choosing a billing partner with the right capabilities can be the difference between steady cash flow and endless follow-ups.

Key Features to Look For

End-to-End Claims Management. From eligibility and authorization checks to submissions, remits, and appeals.

Medicaid + VA Expertise. Familiarity with HCBS waivers, MCO rules, HSRM, SEOCs, modifiers, and payer quirks.

EVV Integration & Visit Reconciliation. Ability to match shift data to claims in Sandata, HHAeXchange, or your AMS.

Denial Tracking and Resubmissions. Proactive reworking of rejected claims without relying on your staff to flag them.

Payment Posting & AR Visibility. Accurate, timely posting of remits and weekly AR reports to track cash flow.

Compliance Monitoring. Built-in checks to avoid billing outside authorization dates or filing windows.

System Compatibility. Flexible workflows that support your scheduling, EVV, and clearinghouse systems.

Transparent Pricing Model. Clear terms, no hidden fees, and payment tied to actual collections.

Pro Tip: Ask for payer-specific experience—especially with your state’s waivers or MCOs. Billing isn’t just about software; it’s about knowing how each payer operates.
