For instance, before you can create claims in our software, there are essential items that must be in place. All visit documents submitted go through a Quality Assurance center where home health agency staff review the documents before they are certified as “billable”. Once the visits are certified as billable, our software takes users through additional steps where you have to indicate they the patients have actually had a face-to-face encounter with the physician and that there are signed orders and care plans in place for the duration of the care provided to the patients. We also have built-in tools that review the quality of the assessments performed on the patient to identify logical and clinical inconsistencies in the documentation. These are just some of the ways Axxess improves compliance for home health agencies. The best and most successful home health agencies continue to choose Axxess to grow their improve patient outcomes, ensure compliance and grow their business.
