Home Health Agencies: "Under Arrangement" Partnerships
We specialize in partnering with Home Health Agencies to manage complex wounds without disrupting your active home health episodes. We understand the strict regulations surrounding Medicare Home Health Consolidated Billing, and we have structured our practice to make compliance and reimbursement frictionless for your agency.
If your patient requires advanced wound care, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), or specialized dressings while under your care, we can step in immediately as a contracted partner.
Streamlined Supply & Billing Agreements
To ensure you remain fully compliant with Medicare guidelines while we treat your patients, we provide a ready-to-sign Services Provided Under Arrangement Agreement.
How our HHA partnership works:
Ready-to-Use Contracts: We provide the standard legal agreement outlining the partnership so care isn’t delayed by red tape.
Transparent Fee Schedule: We include a clear, up-to-date fee schedule aligned with Medicare allowable rates.
Simplified Reimbursement: We directly bill Medicare Part B for our professional services (E/M visits and surgical debridement carve-outs). Your agency simply agrees to reimburse us for the bundled supplies (HCPCS A-codes) and therapies provided under the agreement.
Clinical Collaboration: We share all clinical documentation, wound measurements, and treatment plans directly with your nursing staff to ensure unified patient care.
