Home Health Care Assurance & Tax
HELPING YOU
CARE FOR
THOSE AT HOME
This is what our Home Health Care Assurance and Tax Group is all about.
Demand for home health care services are increasing rapidly. Initially conceived
as transitional care after hospitalization, home health care now also serves an
increasing population of the elderly and pediatric communities.
Since home care is the cheaper alternative to hospitalization and long-term
institutionalized care, the increase in demand for home health care has resulted
in a rapid rise in national health care costs, making reimbursement a political
issue. Because the home health care industry already operates with low
margins, any reductions in reimbursement rates directly impact operating results.
Likewise, with the passage of the HITECH rule, the emphasis on patient privacy
has placed more pressure on health care organizations, resulting in additional
costs and no reimbursement for home care providers. The Health Care Reform
Bill of 2010 has subjected home care agencies to a new level of scrutiny, in
which government regulators are reviewing internal controls for potential fraud
and abuse cases.
Holtz Rubenstein Reminick understands the issues that the home health care
industry currently faces. We can help you identify business risks, assess and
improve internal controls, provide budgets and forecasts, and keep you updated
on the ever-changing regulatory environment within which you live and work.
