AxisCare Home Care Software Review by Billing Dept. Employee
Overall Satisfaction with AxisCare Home Care Software
I am currently the prior authorization specialist and eligibility specialist for our company, an in home health personal care agency. I use AxisCare Home Care Software on a daily basis to add authorizations approving our clients for services, I upload the PAs to the client's documents, and update notes regularly. I use reports on a weekly basis or if it is needed for a PA request. I specifically use the Client / Lead Profile report and the Care Notes (Printable) report. The Authorized Service report is also very helpful. A minor feature that would be helpful is to be able to view task in the Note List section as an action. You can see that a task has been made in the Note List section, but you are unable to see when that task is due or who the task is assigned to. Just having the due date column and assignee column in the Note List tab for Activity Type: Task would be helpful, that way I don't have to open all tasks and search for that one task.
Pros
- Reports. I love that you can add the columns you need for each report.
- Documents. I love being able to store all documents in our clients charts and absolutely love the "Show Expired" check box that was added, that has been very helpful.
- Customization. I love that you can add custom fields and reports include these custom fields. I love being able to set the banner color for each office which is coordinated to my spreadsheets. I love the customization options in the Calendar tab, just all customization options so that everyone can customize the website / portal however they need or want to so it works best for them.
- Forms. This might fall under customization, but I absolutely love forms can be created, completed, and shared.
Cons
- Authorization end dates. Whenever you change the end date on an authorization in the billing tab you have the option to remove schedules / visits after the new end date. If you select yes, the schedules / visits are removed for the end date you entered and after, not the day after the new end date. I have been bypassing this issue by entering a end date for the day after the PA expires, selecting yes to remove those schedules / visits, and then opening the authorization back up and entering the correct end date and selecting no to removing schedules / visits. An example would be if a PA was approved through 12/31/25 and we received a revised PA ending it on 6/30/25, I would go in and give the authorization an end date of 7/1/25 and say yes to removing schedules / visits, save, and then reopen and add an end date of 6/30/25 because if I enter 6/30/25 the first time and select yes to remove schedules / visits, it will remove the schedule / visit for 6/30/25 instead of all days after the end date.
- Client Status. We can change a client's status from "Active" to "In Hospital" or "Hold," but even with the status change the client can still be seen by their caregiver which has caused some issues in the past. It would be great to have some kind of feature that would put a hold on a client's schedule or something so the caregiver couldn't clock in if the client's status is changed to "Hold." A feature that wouldn't remove the client's schedule completely, just put a hold on it until the status has received an end date. If the client's status is "In Hospital," it would be great if there could be a start and end date on that status or maybe on any other status that isn't "Active" and "Inactive" and those dates for a change in status be recorded automatically in another tab like in the Healthcare Tab or Incidents tab. If a client is placed on hold, lets say they're eligibility has ended and we need to help them get their eligibility corrected, but a caregiver cannot see them if their eligibility is bad so we change the client's status to "Hold" effective 4/16/25. The client's schedule should have a block on it effective 4/16/25 so the caregiver is unable to clock in and that block stay there until we enter an end date on the hold status. Maybe there could be a tab that shows all changes to the client's status with the start and end dates.
- I hate to list anything negative because AxisCare Home Care Software helps us so much by keeping everything organized, but the unpaid claims due to caregivers clocking in after we have changed the client's status to hold has really been bothering me lately. The offices have been really busy and there's been a few times when the billing department sends an email to the office letting them know a client has been placed on hold due to bad coverage or due to a provider change and the office does not read that email immediately and the caregiver continues seeing the client not knowing they have bad coverage or not knowing the client's PA has been ended causing us to have unpaid claims. An example would be a client whose eligibility changed on 3/7/25. We emailed the office on 3/13/25 and changed the client's status to hold. The office didn't read the email and continued seeing that client until 3/20/25. We have 24.75 hours of unpaid claims that we will never be reimbursed for because the caregiver was still able to clock in even though the client's status was changed to hold.
- I think the most positive thing I can list would be the effectiveness of the reports offered. Being able to run a report and then export that to a csv or excel file has cut down on how much time it takes us to complete eligibility and weekly reports allowing us to spend more time in other areas. This has boosted my productivity in my department.
We used eRSP solutions before switching to AxisCare Home Care Software. I think AxisCare Home Care Software does a better job at organization and definitely better with customization than eRSP. AxisCare Home Care Software also has more features than eRSP did.
