Private Duty Home Care Billing Software
Private duty agencies bill clients, families, long-term care insurers and the VA on different rules. Porchlight bills each client by their payer, from the visits already logged.
Payers it covers
A private duty agency often has clients on private pay, long-term care insurance, and the VA at the same time. Porchlight does not use one setup for every client. It uses the payer rules and authorizations stored on that client, and it turns the visits already logged into an invoice or a claim.
- Private pay: an invoice can be addressed to a family contact.
- Long-term care insurance: a carrier-formatted invoice lists the client, policy, dates of service, hours, rate, and total.
- VA community care is billed from the authorization on the client.
- One client can be split across two payers.
Rate handling
Bill rate and pay rate stay separate on the client. Holiday, overtime, and live-in rates can be stored on the client, separate from the base bill rate and pay rate.
- Separate bill rate and pay rate
- Holiday, overtime, and live-in rates on the client
- A visit minimum can be set on the client
- The default rounding step is 15 minutes, and it can be changed on the client
Getting paid
Invoices can be emailed. The payer can pay by card or ACH. An aging report and automatic payment reminders are included. Claim checks run before the bill goes out.
