Abstract:

An integrated timecard, quality assurance, and claim submission service helps manage and ensure that a care recipient is receiving care from a caregiver in accordance with a pre-established plan of care and that claim submissions are generated and transmitted to an insurance company or other payer(s) completely, accurately, and compatibly for straight-through processing. The service automatically verifies the hours and days worked and the activities performed by a caregiver, identifies any discrepancies, and adheres to the claim submission requirements of the care recipient's insurance company and/or other payer(s). In some embodiments, a payroll preparation process is also provided to help manage payments to caregivers.
