Home Health Agencies
Accept referrals faster. Fill more visits. Cut the paperwork drag.
Your nurses, schedulers, and intake coordinators should not be spending their day chasing referral details, re-keying patient information, calling families three times, checking visit notes by hand, or rebuilding census reports in spreadsheets.
MVP.dev builds AI automation systems for home health agencies that plug into the tools you already use, including WellSky Home Health, Homecare Homebase, Axxess, KanTime, Alora, MatrixCare, Netsmart myUnity, HHAeXchange, Sandata EVV, Forcura, Waystar, Availity, Paylocity, and ADP.
We help agencies speed up referral intake, reduce scheduling back-and-forth, catch documentation gaps earlier, and give clinical and operations leaders better visibility into census, visits, and margin.
Production-ready in 3 to 4 weeks.

This is for home health agencies, skilled home care operators, therapy providers, private duty teams, and multi-branch providers that are already busy and want more visits completed without adding more administrative drag.
You are likely a strong fit if:
- Referral intake still depends on fax review, email threads, portal checks, and manual data entry
- Schedulers spend too much time calling patients, families, and clinicians to confirm visits
- Clinical managers review notes late, after billing or compliance issues have already started
- EVV, payroll, and billing reconciliation still require spreadsheet cleanup
- Your agency uses WellSky, Homecare Homebase, Axxess, KanTime, Alora, MatrixCare, or a similar home health stack
- You want workflow improvement inside your current systems, not a disruptive software migration
If your agency is growing but intake, scheduling, documentation review, and billing support still depend on manual follow-up, there is almost certainly revenue and staff time leaking out of the workflow.
The fastest wins we usually find
Referral intake before the patient goes elsewhere
A referral that sits too long is not just an admin issue. It can become lost census.
We build intake workflows that read referral packets, extract the key details, check for missing information, flag payer or service concerns, and route the referral to the right intake owner with a clear next step.
The goal is simple:
- Referral packets reviewed faster
- Missing orders or demographics flagged early
- High-priority referrals surfaced first
- Accepted, pending, and declined reasons tracked cleanly
For many agencies, this can reduce referral review time by 30 to 50 percent and help same-day decisions happen more consistently, especially when intake volume spikes.
See the Intake and Triage Demo →Visit confirmations without tying up the front desk
Every missed confirmation creates more calls, more rescheduling, and more risk of a missed visit.
We build voice and text workflows that answer common inbound calls, confirm appointments, collect basic scheduling information, send reminders, and escalate exceptions to your team.
Your staff gets fewer repetitive calls and a cleaner queue:
- Patients and families get faster answers
- Routine confirmations handled automatically
- Cancellation or reschedule requests routed quickly
- Urgent or clinical questions escalated to a human
Agencies often target a 20 to 30 percent reduction in routine scheduling calls while improving response time for families who would otherwise wait on hold or leave voicemail.
See the Voice Booker Demo →Documentation and policy answers with sources
Supervisors should not have to hunt through policy binders, payer rules, SOPs, and prior guidance every time a note, order, or visit question comes up.
We build cited-answer systems that let office staff, clinical managers, and field teams ask plain-English questions and get answers grounded in approved agency documents, payer guidance, internal procedures, and training materials.
Every answer includes a source trail so the team can verify it before acting.
- No unsupported answers
- No guessing from memory
- No digging through five shared drives
- Human review for sensitive clinical or compliance questions
This can save clinical managers and office staff 5 to 10 hours per week in repeated policy lookup, onboarding questions, and documentation clarification.
See the Cited-Answer Support Demo →Census, visit, and margin visibility without spreadsheet rebuilds
Most operators know the numbers are in the system. The problem is getting a clean view before the week is already gone.
We build executive dashboards that pull from scheduling, billing, CRM, referral, EVV, payroll, and finance sources so leaders can see the operational leaks earlier.
Each weekly view can show:
- New referrals, accepted referrals, and start-of-care timing
- Completed, missed, and rescheduled visits
- Clinician utilization by branch or service line
- Authorization or documentation bottlenecks
- Margin signals by payer, branch, or care type
The goal is to replace Friday spreadsheet cleanup with a weekly operating view that shows where revenue, visits, and staff capacity are getting stuck.
See the Executive Dashboard Demo →Your current tools stay in place
We build the workflow layer around your existing home health environment.
Supported and common systems include:
Your EHR stays where it is. Your EVV stays where it is. Your billing and payroll systems stay where they are. Your staff keeps using the systems they already know.
We add the workflow layer that reads, routes, reviews, summarizes, alerts, and writes back only where appropriate and approved.

Start with one workflow. Prove the ROI. Expand from there.
You do not need a full AI transformation project to get value.
The safest path is to pick one painful workflow, automate it, measure the results, and then expand once the system proves itself.
Most agencies start with one of these:
- Referral intake and routing
- Visit confirmation and scheduling support
- Documentation gap review
- EVV exception follow-up
- Authorization tracking
- Census and margin dashboards
This keeps the first project focused, measurable, and easier to approve.
Typical engagement range
Most home health workflow builds start with a focused pilot.
Starter Workflow Pilot
Best for one high-value workflow
$7,500 to $15,000
Agency Workflow Buildout
Best for multiple workflows, branches, or service lines
$15,000 to $40,000
Ongoing Optimization and Support
Best for agencies that want continuous improvement, reporting, new workflows, and support
$1,500 to $7,500 per month
Final pricing depends on workflow count, system access, data complexity, approval rules, HIPAA requirements, branch structure, and whether the workflow writes back into production systems.
The first step is not a giant commitment. It is a workflow fit assessment that identifies the fastest path to measurable ROI.
What waiting costs
Manual home health workflows do not just waste office time. They limit census, visit completion, and margin.
Every month you delay:
- Referrals wait in fax queues, inboxes, or portals
- Schedulers spend hours on calls that should be routine
- Missed visits and late confirmations create avoidable rework
- Documentation gaps are caught later than they should be
- EVV, payroll, and billing exceptions take longer to clean up
- Growth requires more admin headcount instead of better operating leverage
If your agency is already stretched, workflow improvement is not a nice-to-have project. It is how you protect revenue and create capacity without simply adding more office staff.
How the engagement works
Week 1: Find the highest-value leak
We review your referral intake, scheduling, documentation review, EVV exception, authorization, billing, or reporting workflow.
You get:
- Workflow map
- Automation opportunity ranking
- KPI targets
- Fixed-scope recommendation
- Implementation plan
We define success before building anything.
Week 2: Build against your real workflow
We connect to the systems, documents, exports, referral sources, scheduling data, EVV feeds, or reporting data needed for the selected workflow.
We build around your actual agency process, not a generic healthcare template.
Week 3: Test, tune, and review
We run real historical examples through the workflow in staging. For intake workflows, this can include prior referral packets and known accepted, declined, and pending cases so the system can be tested against your actual patterns.
You see:
- Accuracy results
- Exceptions
- Failure cases
- Confidence thresholds
- Review queue behavior
- Estimated time savings
Nothing goes live until the workflow is validated.
Week 4: Deploy, monitor, and support
We deploy the workflow, train the relevant users, monitor initial results, and support the first production cycle.
You get:
- Production workflow
- Dashboard or review queue
- Documentation
- Admin handoff
- 30 days of support
- Recommendations for the next workflow
Most builds are designed to pay back in 6 to 8 weeks of live use, depending on referral volume, call volume, labor cost, workflow scope, and how much coordinator or clinical manager time is recovered.
Built for PHI, HIPAA, and home health controls
Home health workflows have to be secure, auditable, and reviewable because they touch patient information, clinical documentation, payer data, and staff records.
Our systems are designed around:
- HIPAA-aware workflow design
- Least-privilege access
- Encrypted data in transit and at rest
- Role-based access by branch, function, and user type
- Human review thresholds for clinical, payer, or billing-sensitive actions
- Audit logs for AI-assisted decisions
- Source-grounded answers for policy and documentation guidance
- Client-owned cloud deployment when required
- No silent write-back to EHR, EVV, billing, or payroll systems without approved rules
- PHI minimization wherever possible
For agencies with HIPAA, payer, state survey, EVV, SOC, or internal compliance requirements, we design the implementation around your security requirements from the start.
Example outcomes
| Workflow | Before | After |

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time or money can this save for a home health agency?
It depends on volume, but the fastest savings are usually in referral intake, scheduling calls, documentation review, EVV cleanup, and reporting. A small agency may recover 8 to 15 office hours per week from intake and scheduling alone. Larger or multi-branch agencies may save $2,500 to $10,000 per month in admin time, avoided rework, faster referral response, and cleaner billing support. During Week 1, we define the target KPIs before the build starts.
Will this replace our home health EHR?
No. The goal is to improve the workflow around your current stack, not force a migration. WellSky, Homecare Homebase, Axxess, KanTime, Alora, MatrixCare, Netsmart, and similar systems stay in place. The workflow layer reads, routes, summarizes, alerts, and writes back only where appropriate and approved.
Can this work with faxed referrals and referral portals?
Yes. Many agencies still receive referrals through a mix of fax, secure email, hospital portals, ACO portals, and payer portals. We can design the intake workflow to extract key details, identify missing information, route the referral, and create a review queue for the intake team.
Is this safe for PHI and HIPAA-regulated workflows?
We design the system around your HIPAA and security requirements. That can include encryption, access controls, audit logs, PHI minimization, human review steps, source trails, and client-owned cloud deployment when required. Sensitive clinical, payer, or billing actions should be routed through approved review rules.
Can this help reduce missed visits?
It can help with the operational pieces that often lead to missed or rescheduled visits: slow confirmations, unanswered calls, unclear patient availability, late cancellations, and poor visibility into schedule risk. Most agencies start with a focused goal, such as reducing routine scheduler calls by 20 to 30 percent or catching cancellation risk earlier.
Can this support EVV, payroll, and billing reconciliation?
Yes, if the needed data is accessible through exports, reports, APIs, or approved integrations. We can help group exceptions, compare scheduled visits to completed visits, flag missing EVV details, and prepare review queues. Final payroll and billing decisions stay with your team.
What is the first step?
Start with a workflow fit assessment. We identify the workflow with the highest ROI potential, estimate the time or revenue impact, and recommend a focused pilot. You will know what should be built, why it matters, what it should cost, and how success will be measured before committing to a full implementation.
Get the visits, hours, and margin back
If your agency is still relying on manual referral review, repeated scheduling calls, late documentation checks, EVV cleanup, or spreadsheet-based reporting, there is likely a faster way to run the operation.
