Home health ops · Home care agency platform
AxisCare
AxisCare is an operations platform for home care agencies that covers scheduling, electronic visit verification (EVV), caregiver mobile tools, and billing. Agencies use it as the main system for day-to-day coordination.
Strong fit
- Home care agencies that need scheduling, electronic visit verification, billing, and caregiver mobile tools in one system
- Agencies that track how long caregivers stay and how many shifts get filled
- Groups with several offices that have outgrown spreadsheets and single-purpose tools
Weak fit
- Hospital inpatient EHR programs
- Agencies that only need basic visit verification, without clinical or billing tools
- Buyers looking for a consumer telehealth brand
Bottom line
AxisCare is a good fit for mid-sized home care agencies that want one daily system for coordinators, caregivers, and billing staff. Agencies that need a full clinical EMR for home health or hospice may prefer Alora or another agency EMR.

AxisCare's customers are home care agencies, including groups with several offices that have outgrown spreadsheets and single-purpose tools. It covers scheduling, caregiver apps, electronic visit verification, billing, and related back-office work, with options for skilled documentation. Pricing is based on the size of the agency, usually by users, clients, or visit volume. Results are strongest when scheduling, visit verification, and billing run in one workflow that coordinators use every day.
Before switching, agencies need to clean up client and caregiver data and train coordinators to treat the schedule as the official record. Projects stall when a spreadsheet keeps running alongside it for months. Among the home health operations tools we review, AxisCare scores 7.5 overall, behind Axxess (7.9) and KanTime (7.6) and ahead of Alora and AlayaCare (both 7.2).

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | A software subscription for home care agencies, usually based on users, clients, or visit volume. |
| What usually drives cost | Agency size, which add-ons you choose (skilled care, billing services), and help getting started. |
| What to ask before you buy | The monthly cost for your number of active clients and users, support for your state's visit verification rules, and how much data has to be moved. |
| Published pricing | Quoted after a demo. AxisCare does not list full prices on its website. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get AxisCare to function | |
| Clean client and caregiver lists to move over | Errors in those lists carry straight into the schedule. |
| Visit verification rules listed for each of your states | Visits recorded the wrong way may not get paid. |
| Coordinators who will make the schedule the official record | Side spreadsheets undo the time savings. |
| A billing owner who knows your payers' rules | Someone still has to own payer rules and billing. |
| Mobile device plan for caregivers | Caregivers need working phones before launch for the app to work. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Measure filled shifts and caregiver turnover | Those numbers show whether scheduling has improved. |
| Train staff on problems, not only routine days | Caregiver call-offs are when scheduling tools are tested hardest. |
| Run billing in both systems for one week, then stop entering it twice | Double entry wastes coordinator and billing staff time. |
| Use automation features only after core scheduling is stable | Extra features on top of a broken schedule confuse staff. |
| Review visit verification problems every day at first | Small misses turn into denied payments. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| You need a hospital inpatient EHR. | |
| You will not migrate off spreadsheets. | |
| Caregivers cannot use mobile tools. | |
| No one owns billing or visit verification rules. | |
| You only need a consumer telehealth brand. | |
Value creation time frame
| # | Stage | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From signing to kickoff | 1-4 weeks to plan the data export and confirm state visit verification rules |
| 2 | From kickoff to first use | 4-10 weeks for a typical agency to switch over |
| 3 | From first use to steady results | 1-3 months for scheduling and billing to settle |
