Home Health Billing and Coding Specialist

Home Health Billing Built Around Strict Medicare Rules

Every home health claim depends on precise PDGM coding, flawless OASIS submissions, and aggressive deadline management. Our Home Health Billing Services control all these factors.

PDGM Coding & OASIS-E Review

Ensuring primary diagnosis codes perfectly align with OASIS data to generate the correct HIPPS code, maximizing your clinical grouping reimbursement.

Notice of Admission (NOA) Tracking

Relentless tracking and submission of NOAs within the 5-day Medicare window to completely eliminate late-filing financial penalties.

LUPA Management & Optimization

Proactive monitoring of 30-day payment periods to ensure minimum visit thresholds are met, preventing full episodes from dropping to per-visit LUPA rates.

ADR Management & Appeals

Handling Additional Documentation Requests from MACs efficiently, assembling Face-to-Face (F2F) and Plan of Care data to win complex appeals.

End-to-End Home Health Billing Services

We capture every billable episode, ensure proper regulatory compliance, and keep claims flowing—so you get paid for the complete care your field staff provides.

Intake & Eligibility Verification

Rigorous upfront verification of Medicare, Medicaid, and Commercial benefits, including authorization requirements for therapy visits.

OASIS & ICD-10 Coding

Expert review by certified coders to ensure the primary diagnosis falls into a valid PDGM clinical group to avoid Return to Provider (RTP) status.

NOA Submissions

Automated tracking to ensure the Notice of Admission (TOB 32A) is accepted by Medicare within 5 days of the Start of Care.

End of Episode (EOE) Claims

Submitting final claims (TOB 329) with all required visit data, ensuring F2F and Plan of Care signatures are on file.

LUPA Alerting

Daily reporting on 30-day billing periods that are 1-2 visits away from the LUPA threshold, allowing clinical managers to adjust schedules.

Commercial & Medicare Advantage

Handling the nuanced authorization and per-visit billing requirements for Managed Care and VA payer networks.

Addressing Real Challenges with Home Health Billing Services

Late NOA Penalties

Failing to submit the NOA within 5 days results in a 20% daily revenue loss. We use automated tracking to ensure 100% compliance.

PDGM Coding Errors

Symptom codes used as primary diagnoses result in rejected claims. We ensure codes match a valid clinical group.

High LUPA Rates

Missing a visit threshold by just one visit slashes episode reimbursement. We proactively alert your clinical directors.

Missing F2F Documentation

Medicare audits aggressively target missing Face-to-Face encounter notes. We audit charts before the final claim drops.

Commercial Payer Auth Rules

Medicare Advantage plans require frequent re-authorizations. We manage the portal submissions so care is never interrupted.

Staff Burnout on Admin Work

Agency owners and nurses spend too much time chasing doctor signatures instead of growing the census.
