Medical home care agencies require an Administrator, a Director of Nursing and a licensed nursing staff. Non-medical staffing consists of an Administrator, a Client Care Coordinator and trained nurse aides or home care aides.
Financing the Home Health Agency
In addition to the standard start up costs of a small business, financing an independent home health care agency includes health care licensing and certification cost, bonding for employees, medicare and insurance billing software and clerks, and administrative and direct care staffing.
Methods of Payment for Services
Medicare and/or independent insurance billing are options.
