Home Care Billing Software
Home care billing software turns completed visits into invoices and payer claims, so agencies bill private pay, long-term care insurance, VA and Medicaid without re-keying visit data. Porchlight does this for non-medical home care agencies.
What it replaces
A completed visit should be billed once. Many agencies type that visit again into a payer portal or a spreadsheet. That second entry is where a rate or an authorization is wrong, and where payment waits on an invoice error.
- Manual re-entry of visits into payer portals and spreadsheets
- Claim rejections from wrong rates or authorizations
- Slow payment from invoice errors
What Porchlight does
Porchlight starts from the visit already logged. It uses the payer rules and authorizations on that client, and it checks the claim before submission.
- Logged visits become invoices and claims
- Per-client payer rules and authorizations
- Pre-submission claim checks
- Remittance (835) posting [CONFIRM: 835 posting supported?]

Who pays the agency
Each client carries the rules for whoever pays the agency. The invoice or claim follows that client.
- Private pay: the bill goes to the client or family under that client's rules.
- Long-term care insurance: the bill goes to the carrier under that client's rules.
- VA: billing follows the authorization stored on the client.
- Waiver programs are billed with medicaid home care billing software from the same logged visits.
- Managed care: the plan is the payer on the client. [CONFIRM: managed care billing supported?]
Agencies that bill families, long-term care insurers, and the VA under different rules use private duty home care billing software.
