Starting a Home Health Agency

I want to know what kind of license do i need and what are requirements to start my home health agency

Can i start a health care agency from my home with minimal space.

What steps should I take in starting a home health care agency.

I would like more information on the license and more on personnel and how to get patience for the agency.

I have opened and started a few home health agencies I usually start them for people that don't really know how to structure their business but they have experience in managing health care companies. I should tell you that it is very expensive very time demanding and there is a lot of work that goes into building a Home Health Agency. If you are not client oriented and in it to actually provide the best possible care this is not the business for you, because it will show once you have to print up those reports on your clients outcome based fact sheets soooooooo......but if you are interested you should write me back i can help you.

I'm interested in establishing a home health agency later this year. I don't know what it would cost me, how I'd be getting the clients and other basic requirements. How could you help me do so?
Thanks.
Winnie.

Home Health Agencies business is a big deal, you need reputable consultancy company to get you started.

Start with your Secretary of State website.
You will also have to have a EIN number, call your Local IRS office. If you want to open a medical funded home health care agency you will need to Call your local Council On Aging. These agency will help you get certified with the state. Medicaid Wavier Services

In Ohio You must have a business name, telephone, and physical facility. You must have one million dollar commercial liability INS. To get Certification for Medical. My advice is start out with private paying clients .

I Started 2x home health agencies in the last year. One in California and one in Washington. The state licensing rules and laws were different in each state. I did lots of research and eventually ended up using a company called Homecare Agency Solutions. They helped with getting all the necessary policies and forms and helped with the licensing process in both states. They say they operate in all states. I bought an "Agency In A Box" customized to the different state rules and it had everything that I needed. Their website was very helpful too. It is homehealthstartup.com
