Home Health Care Licensing - 21st Century Home Health Care

Before You Can Be Licensed

A Home Health Agency needs to be registered to be a legally operating business in the United States. According to Business.gov, each state has a set of requirements or rules regarding business registration. You will need to register your Home Health Business under the state laws in your state. Set up the business entity that will best fit your needs. Typically this will be a sub-chapter S corporation or a Limited Liability Company (LLC). If you have an existing corporation or LLC, these entities can be used, as you may wish to obtain an assumed or fictitious name to identify your Home Health Agency.

You will also need to apply for a Federal TAX ID and a National Provider Identifier Number (NPI number). These can be obtained at the respective websites, or by a member of our team. When you register your company with your state you will get information about your state tax ID and the payment of state income taxes and employment taxes for the business should it require additional assistance.
