CareVoyant understands the demanding requirements to manage Home and Community Based Services while managing other services like Private Duty Nursing, Non-Medical Personal Care, and Home Health. CareVoyant software platform provides tools that will help a home health care agency to effectively manage Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) along with other service lines.
Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) provide Medicaid beneficiaries opportunities to receive services in their own home or community rather than institutions or other isolated settings. These programs serve various targeted population groups, such as people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental illnesses.
In the absence of other viable public or private options to finance current and future LTSS needs for people of all ages, Medicaid will continue to be the major financing and delivery system for Home and Community Based Services for millions of Americans. Addressing community-based provider shortages and streamlining access to community-based care that supports functional independence and enhancing the quality of life will remain key objectives of states’ rebalancing efforts as the need for Medicaid HCBS continues to grow.
At CareVoyant, we are empowering home and community-based services providers by developing cost-effective software solutions for care delivery and revenue cycle management.
Educational Session: Video - Selecting the right software for Private Duty Nursing
Private Duty Nursing is different from your traditional home health as it requires skilled care for medically fragile patients. The care is typically provided in longer shifts from 8 to 12 hours and for a limited number of patients over a longer period of time. In the Private Duty Nursing field, the nurse or LPN gets to know the patient as a person and can really become quite attached to their patient. The care provided can be in multiple settings such as the patient's home, school, or even a group home setting.
The unique nature of private duty nursing necessitates specific software features.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Clearinghouse for your Agency
There are many tasks and processes involved when capturing patient demographics and following the information through to clean claim submission. Streamlining intake and billing functions are essential to your Home Health Care operations. The use of the right Clearinghouse will help to meet your end goals of achieving operational efficiency.
Together with Waystar, CareVoyant's Home Healthcare software streamlines your workflows, empowers your team to be more productive, and helps your organization collect more revenue, more quickly.
