Privacy & Enrollment Terms
Clear terms for a professional institution.
Effective August 19, 2026. These terms explain how HCRI handles information and administers HCRS Founding Cohort enrollment.
Privacy policy
How information is handled
The Home Care Revenue Institute™ website and programs are operated by The Revenue Forge LLC. The Revenue Forge LLC may collect information voluntarily submitted through inquiries, enrollment, account creation, payments, course participation and credential activity. HCRI uses this information to provide requested services, administer certification, maintain credential records, prevent misuse and communicate relevant program information.
Information sharing
Personal information is not sold. HCRI may share the minimum information needed with service providers that support payments, course delivery, communications, credential verification and website operation.
Agency sponsor reporting
An agency purchasing one or more HCRS sponsored learner seats may receive enrollment, course progress, completion and credential-status reporting for its sponsored learners. Examination questions, responses, scores, attempt history and remediation details remain confidential.
Credential registry
Limited professional information for active credential holders may be displayed in the HCRI verification registry, including the credential holder’s name, active status, state qualifications and applicable Founding Cohort recognition.
Founding Cohort enrollment
Dates, capacity and confirmation
HCRS™ enrollment and related purchases are offered by The Revenue Forge LLC through the Home Care Revenue Institute. Founding Cohort enrollment opened August 26, 2026. The cohort is limited to 50 purchasing customers and may close when that allocation is filled. One paid Individual Enrollment or one paid agency-sponsored enrollment of 1–5 learner seats counts as one founding purchase.
Prior waitlist registration did not create an enrollment or reserve a place in the Founding Cohort. Founding status is confirmed only after completed enrollment and payment. If payment is processed after capacity has been reached because of a technical or processing error, HCRI will refund that payment in full.
Access and onboarding
Enrolled customers receive National Core access and onboarding instructions, including state-path selection, the program roadmap and the live-session calendar. An invited state qualification that is not available when the National Core opens will be added within the applicable published delivery period after HCRI receives the completed state-selection information. Founding agencies must submit the roster for the number of learner seats purchased and the included state qualification selected for each sponsored learner.
Payment methods and payment plans
Enrollment is purchased through the HCRI checkout operated by The Revenue Forge LLC. Card payment is accepted. Payment-plan or third-party financing options may be available and will be displayed at checkout. Availability and eligibility are determined at checkout; displaying a payment-plan or third-party financing option does not guarantee approval.
Seven-day money-back guarantee
An individual purchaser may request a full refund of the original HCRS enrollment purchase within seven calendar days after purchase, provided the learner has not progressed beyond Module 1 and has not attempted a certification assessment. For an agency-sponsored enrollment, the guarantee applies to the complete original agency purchase and remains available only while no sponsored learner has progressed beyond Module 1 or attempted a certification assessment. The refund request must be submitted in writing to support@homecarerevenueinstitute.org within the seven-day period. Approved refund access is ended when the refund is processed.
The seven-day guarantee does not apply to separately purchased additional-state qualifications or other separately ordered services. HCRI also provides the specific full-refund protections stated elsewhere in these terms when payment is processed after capacity is filled because of a technical error, HCRI misses an applicable included-state delivery commitment and the customer chooses a refund, or HCRI declines a paid additional-state request.
Program terms
What enrollment includes
Individual Enrollment includes one learner, the National Core, one included primary-state qualification and the complete certification path. Agency-sponsored enrollment may include 1–5 learner seats under the published agency pricing model. Each paid agency learner seat includes the National Core, one included primary-state qualification selected for that learner and the complete certification path.
State qualifications
Michigan, Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon and Massachusetts are the planned launch-state qualifications for Founding Cohort enrollment. For a non-launch state expressly included in HCRI's current Founding Cohort outreach, HCRI will add the included state qualification to the customer's learning account within seven calendar days after receiving the completed state-selection form. The learner may begin the National Core without waiting for that state qualification. If HCRI misses the seven-day commitment, the customer may select a launch state or request a full enrollment refund. States outside the nine launch states and HCRI's current Founding Cohort outreach require written availability confirmation before enrollment. HCRS is awarded only after the learner completes and passes both the National Core and one state qualification.
Additional state qualifications are subject to availability. The published individual additional-state fee is $297. For an agency adding the same additional state for multiple sponsored learners at the same time, the first learner is $297 and each additional sponsored learner adding that same state is $149. If HCRI cannot accept a paid additional-state request, the payment is refunded in full.
Individual credentials
HCRS is issued only to an individual who completes all education, applied work, examinations and attestation requirements. Purchase, attendance or agency sponsorship does not guarantee certification. Teams may learn together, but certification examinations must be completed individually.
Agency seat protection
Unused agency-sponsored seats may be assigned or reassigned by the purchasing agency. If a sponsored learner leaves the purchasing agency before completing HCRS, the affected enrollment may be reassigned to one replacement employee under HCRI onboarding rules. If a sponsored learner leaves within 90 days after earning the credential, the agency purchase includes one replacement enrollment at no additional charge. The 90-day protection is limited to one qualifying replacement enrollment per agency purchase, must be requested within 30 days of the departure and does not apply to failure, inactivity or inability to pass. A replacement enrollment is for one replacement employee and is not a reusable or permanent seat. The departing professional retains any credential already earned.
Founding Edition improvements
Founding Cohort learners receive launch-edition corrections and improvements at no additional cost and will not repeat completed lessons or passed examinations solely because the edition improves. Annual renewal, recertification and targeted updates required by material regulatory change remain governed by HCRI certification policy.
