What we do

Home Health Agencies 


Home health agencies play a vital role in delivering skilled nursing, therapy, and other clinical services to Medicaid beneficiaries in their homes, making effective reimbursement, utilization oversight, and regulatory compliance essential for program success. Myers & Stauffer partners with state Medicaid agencies to evaluate home health reimbursement methodologies, analyze service utilization, strengthen program integrity, and support data-driven oversight of home-based clinical services.

Supporting Oversight of Home-Based Clinical Services 

Home health services provide clinical care to Medicaid beneficiaries in their homes, including skilled nursing, therapy, and related services. These services are often reimbursed through fee schedules or episodic payment methodologies and may be delivered through both fee-for-service and managed care arrangements. 

Myers & Stauffer supports state agencies in evaluating and overseeing home health services to ensure appropriate reimbursement, utilization, and compliance with program requirements.
