DALLAS—Axxess, a global technology platform for health care at home, has partnered with Home Care Answers (HCA), a coding and OASIS audit provider, to offer Axxess clients audit services that enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of diagnosis coding and OASIS documentation, ensuring compliance and proper reimbursement.

“Our partnership with HCA demonstrates Axxess’ commitment to the compliance and operational efficiency of our clients,” said Chris Taylor, senior vice president of channel partnerships at Axxess. “By leveraging HCA’s services, clients will see increased OASIS and coding accuracy, enabling them to optimize revenue, improve outcomes and prevent claim denials.

HCA’s reviewers use clinical judgment and technology to review OASIS documentation, provide PDGM-optimized diagnosis coding and present results in an easy-to-read report, which includes data to help Axxess Home Health and Axxess Hospice clients ensure compliance and proper reimbursement. This partnership comes at a critical time as home health and hospice organizations prepare for value-based purchasing and HOPE (Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation), which takes effect Oct. 1.
