Billing
INVOICING SYSTEM
SelectCare begins the billing week on Saturdays and ends the billing week on Fridays. SelectCare bills and pays on a weekly basis. Reimbursement is expected within five days of receipt of the invoice.
The client or responsible party signs the weekly time sheet and keeps the blue copy for their records. The SelectCare employee will mail the white copy to the office payroll and billing.
We strongly suggest that the client keep a copy of all signed agreements and the blue copy of the weekly time sheets.
OUR BILLING RATES INCLUDE:
- Coordinated homecare plans between the health care team, physicians, and our staff.
- Timely communication that avoids unnecessary delays in changes of physician orders or homecare plans.
- Monthly home visits and ongoing supervision of SelectCare employees by SelectCare Registered Nurses.*
