Did You Know About MEDITECH's 6.0 Home Care Billing/Accounts Receivable Reimbursement Functionality?

If you are currently using MEDITECH's Home Care Manager/MEDITECH's Hospital Billing/Accounts Receivable (B/AR) Interface and plan to upgrade to Home Care 6.0, you'll be able to easily process your financial activity through MEDITECH's 6.0 Home Care financial workflow. We've designed this workflow specifically for home care reimbursement methodologies and operational requirements, such as built-in Home Health PPS algorithms and home care-appropriate billing conditions.

When home care reimbursement followed a fee-per-visit formula, you could process your records through MEDITECH's hospital (B/AR) application. However, since the advent of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the Medicare Interim Payment System, and the onset of Home Health Prospective Payment System (HH PPS) of 2000, Medicare's coverage and reimbursement methodologies have changed drastically and home care clinical assessment and performance now play a far greater role in financial output.
