Why I built HCRS
The people doing this work deserve more than being called “the biller.”
“There are thousands of people doing this work every day who learned it the hard way—through state manuals, payer calls, denials, portal changes, EVV problems and years of experience. I think that expertise deserves to be recognized as a profession.”
I have watched capable people teach themselves a fragmented revenue system because the industry never gave them one complete place to learn it. They carry responsibility far beyond submitting claims, but their knowledge is often invisible until something goes wrong.
Over the past 10 years, my team and I have worked directly with more than 5,000 home care agencies, with deep experience in Medicaid-funded home care operations, billing, revenue cycle, technology and payer workflows.
Built by billers, for billers. HCRS is grounded in the real operating decisions that determine whether Medicaid-funded care becomes clean, defensible and reconciled revenue.
That is the mission behind HCRI: bring the work into one professional discipline, establish a standard that means something and recognize the people who have been carrying this responsibility for years.

This may already be your role
You are expected to know what happened, why it happened and what happens next.
That is not a narrow billing task. It is professional responsibility for the complete Medicaid revenue outcome.
You trace the real failure point.
“Submitted” is not enough. Leadership needs the current status, the cause, the next action and the point of escalation.
You become the agency’s memory.
Years of calls, denials and corrections become the hard-won operating knowledge everyone depends on.
HCRS does not erase what you learned the hard way.It organizes that experience, fills the gaps, tests your judgment and gives the work professional recognition.
