Start A Home Health Care Business

Our new Home Health Care Agency startup program begins with helping you choose the business entity that will best fit your needs (Sole proprietor, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, C Corporation).

We then complete and file the required documentation, obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. We will also obtain a NPI number for you. We will then register your business with the Secretary of State in your state. We complete the paperwork requirements for your state license.

The recent and ongoing changes to licensing standards and regulatory requirements can make the startup process challenging. At 21st Century, we simplify the process and make it easy for you to understand. You provide us the application information, and we do the rest. Each state will have different certification requirements and processes.

This includes an in-depth description of planned operational policies, as well as the resumes and documentation of prospective employees’ professional licensing and criminal background screening. When you receive your license application in a binder it will be easy to submit to your state for approval.

Our experts handle all necessary licensing steps to establish your Medicare, Medicaid, or Private Duty Home Health Care Agency. This includes the CMS required 855a Medicare Application and civil rights package.

Our Policies and Procedures, Nursing Procedures, Patient Admission Packets, Personnel Files, Forms, Logs, In-Service Education Plans, Patient Teaching Guides, Committee Minutes, etc. are customized to meet your Home Health Care Agency’s needs. Our Home Health Care Agency policy and procedure manuals are written specifically to meet your State, Medicare, Medicaid or Private Duty standards.

We’re the only Home Health Consulting Company in the industry that offers a lifetime training program for you and your staff! You will leave our interactive training seminar and workshop ready to hit the ground running and launch your very own successful agency.

These interactive training seminars will review all clinical aspects of operating a home care agency including, admitting patients, review policies, receiving referrals, as well as train you and your staff to understand how to obtain new clients, marketing, medical and emergency scenarios and many other topics. We offer 4 days of live home care training. Our home health care business training seminars take place quarterly and are available to you, your current and future employees and never at any additional cost to attend.

We also offer Advanced Courses in Oasis and Coding as well as Marketing & Business Development.

Along with working with all three accrediting bodies, our preferred partner ACHC has pre-approved our policies and procedures. This alleviates any procedural issues during accreditation surveys. They also are feature presenters at our education and training seminars and offer exclusive discounts to our clients.

• CHAP, the Community Health Accreditation Partners
• ACHC, the Accreditation Commission for Health Care
• JCAHO, the Joint Commission
  
  We complete an ON-SITE Mock home care accreditation audit at your location. This on-site audit includes a complete review of your Agency’s operations. Our Mock auditing procedures are similar to what the Home Care Accreditation Site Surveyor will be requiring when they survey your agency for Medicare / Private Duty Certification.

Marketing can be an area that’s overlooked when planning to operate a home care startup. However, effective marketing is essential when growing your business and spreading the word. 21st Century provides a fully customized website, complete with search engine optimization (SEO), tailored specifically for your home care business. The goal of your SEO website is to have your business achieve first page presence on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
