The Service that

Every Home Health Agency Needs.

Home Health Fundamentals offers a unique cost-effective subscription service that combines regulatory monitoring, analysis, and support.

We know home health – inside and out – because we have decades of real, practical hospice experience under our belts.

What's in a

Subscription?

Resources designed to work in perfect harmony to provide subscribers with essential information, education, and tools for success, including:

FYIs

Clear, concise and timely e-mail communications bring subscribers the latest compliance and regulatory information.

Content is distilled into straight-forward easy-to-read English and presented in a consistent and logical format so readers know what to expect. Here’s an example FYI.

For notices and alerts requiring little analysis, we send Quick Updates – short e-mail communications that get right to the point. We respect your inbox.

Actions of a Prudent Home Health Agency™

We don’t stop with just information. Each FYI and Webinar include the Actions of a Prudent Home Health Agency™ – Guidance in what steps to take next.

It’s one of the subscription benefits that sets Home Health Fundamentals apart – real life, pragmatic suggestions from experts with years of regulatory, compliance and operational experience that are applicable to home health agencies of all sizes.

Tools of the Trade™

Each month subscribers receive a Tool of the Trade™ that helps you take action.

Tools of the Trade™ are often checklists, guides, decision trees and tables that are smartly designed to make taking action easier. Take a look at one here.

Monthly Webinars

Subscribers enjoy monthly webinars on timely topics – join us on the second Thursday of every month at 1:00pm EST.

Can’t make that time? All webinars are recorded and can be accessed at the listener’s convenience.

Watch as a group or individually – whichever works better for you and your agency. There is no limit on number of sign-ons.

Take a look at the 2024 monthly schedule – and note that we leave topics for some months open so that we can easily address new areas that come up throughout the year. We also add extra ones throughout the year – if it’s needed, we’ll do it.

Individual Regulatory Support and Guidance

Need advice or guidance for specific situations or conundrums?

We offer two subscription levels – subscribers choosing a Tier 2 subscription enjoy access to “as-needed” regulatory and operational expertise and support for a small additional monthly fee.

Questions can range from small – “I know I read this somewhere, can you help me find it?” – to large “We just discovered that we may have not been doing this quite right; what do we do now?” And sometimes, you just need someone to help you think through the best process.

Compliance is a big job and it is nice to know you have someone to turn to when you need that extra support. Tier 2 brings an extra level of confidence and assistance.

NEW! Easy Access to Updated CMS Resources

Sometimes it is difficult to find exactly what you are looking for on the CMS site...

That’s where we come in. Our CMS Resources page gives you direct access to the forms, lists, and pdfs you’re looking for. Just choose, click and download. We keep it up to date so you don’t have to.

We Know Home Health Agencies -

all shapes and sizes.

We work with single-site Home Health Care agencies, multi-state agencies and all shapes and sizes in between.

The common thread? Regardless of size or tax status, any home health care agency that ignores compliance and regulatory fundamentals incurs unnecessary risk, has an uncertain future and, most importantly, may have significant lapses in service delivery.

Your patients deserve more.

Home Health Fundamentals was a condition of employment for me. I don’t know how any one person or agency full of people can know everything about the regulations and also think through the practical applications of those regulations without a consultant like Home Health Fundamentals in their corner.
