Home Health Billing in California

Predominantly government-funded, so the state Medicaid structure and managed care penetration shape the payer mix directly. In California that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.

Claims for California providers are adjudicated by Noridian Healthcare Solutions (JE), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.

What changes in California

Medicaid in California runs as Medi-Cal and is delivered largely through commercial managed care plans, so most Medicaid claims are adjudicated by an insurer with its own filing window and its own authorization rules rather than by the state.

California prohibits fee splitting generally while authorising percentage-based billing arrangements subject to conditions. Our own pricing in California is set accordingly. That describes what we charge; your own position is a question for your counsel rather than for us.
