ClearCare Homecare Technology Company has developed HomeConnect Application Programming Interface – API which will help home care providers to connect directly to hospitals for referrals, care management, and billing. The new technology will allow healthcare agencies to process for referring patients to home care adding to the existing clinical systems. This technology will also transfer data to company’s online and mobile apps for managing home care and caregivers.

 “On April 2nd, so just about six weeks ago, CMS announced that it will allow unskilled home care as a supplemental benefit on Medicare Advantage plans for the first time,” ClearCare CEO Geoff Nudd explained. “Previously, that kind of home care could not be included as a Medicare Advantage benefit. I think we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg with this announcement. The reimbursement landscape will continue to expand for this kind of home care because it is so effective.”

 “Eight years ago when ClearCare started it was a highly fragmented technology market and nobody had the scale to assemble and maintain that kind of capability. And ClearCare has changed that by virtue of consolidating most of the technology market in the home care industry. That allows ClearCare to provide enterprise-class portal connectivity to payers and providers,” Nudd said. “Second, we’ve invested in, over the last two years, enterprise-class APIs and enterprise-class business intelligence. And what that allows a payer or provider to do is manage home care at scale, manage care protocols, and get transparency to data from the home.”

HomeConnect API is available for large enterprise customers and a version for smaller home care agencies in beta with ClearCare.
