(480) 493-4775We work with people planning an Arizona home health agency and leaders of existing agencies. Bring questions about your service model, agency organization or daily operations. The initial conversation helps us identify the support that fits your situation.
Start by defining the skilled services you plan to provide and the area you will serve. An Arizona home health agency is licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS). If you plan to bill Medicare, federal certification and Medicare enrollment are separate steps.
Your staffing, policies and operating plan come together before you begin services. Our consulting process above shows how a home health consultant helps with each decision.
Home health generally includes skilled nursing and related therapeutic services. Nonmedical home care may focus on help with daily activities. The services you plan to offer determine which requirements you need to investigate.
Describe your intended services when we speak. You can also review CMS’s explanation of a home health agency.
State licensing and Medicare participation are separate processes. An agency seeking Medicare participation must address the applicable federal certification and enrollment requirements as well as state requirements.
See Arizona Department of Health Services licensing resources and the CMS Home Health Agency Information Center for current guidance. We can discuss how these questions affect your agency’s plans.
We review how work moves through your agency, prioritize policy updates and clarify staff responsibilities. That can mean improving referral handoffs, organizing onboarding or setting a consistent process for unresolved concerns. Clinical care decisions remain with your qualified clinical team.
The timeline depends on your starting point, planned services and the approvals you need. Staffing and application readiness also affect the work ahead. We discuss these factors with you rather than promise an opening date before understanding your agency.
The scope of support determines the cost of ongoing consulting. Contact our team to confirm the initial consultation fee and discuss your agency’s needs. We agree on services and fees before ongoing work begins.
Bring a short description of your planned or current services, your agency’s location and your most pressing questions. Existing agencies can also summarize their team structure and operational concerns. An overview is enough to begin; patient records are not needed for the initial discussion.
Tell us what you want to build or improve. A conversation with a home health consultant can help you decide where to focus first.
