Anyone show no schedule past May 2026 in house calls? Seems odd, but with the current environment not surprised.

@k6 UHC has not been hit yet.
You all need to look beyond ehousecalls EMR for CMS compliance the unsupported diagnosis that don't meet the evaluated, assessed, managed or monitored standards are removed. If a condition is documented without clinical relevance it is flagged as unsupported.
Why do you think other vendors have been successfully punished by DOJ and not UHC? They also have less mid year reversals by CMS.
@jd what’s wild is the fact that it’s even allowed in the first place.
@ez why do you think you are there rather than an RN . RNs can do HRAs and " gather info for the pcp " to address ... the visit " does not take the place of your Dr" What the RN cannot do is " verify " dx or add new ones .
HouseCalls has always only a scheduled 30-45 days out. Anything higher than that leads to higher cancellation rates.
Is house calls diminishing? Possibly switching over to virtual?
My county is assigned are until the end of June 24 I believe. But I have no bookings into May yet.
@ez Can’t agree more. That’s why I keep it simple and straightforward. If a patient is not aware of a diagnosis, I do not enter it. Stop and think for a second! What can you possibly diagnose during this joke of a visit plus the usual “works” of POC tests that they want to be done?!
@b5 I don't know about that. I have worked in this role. They give a horrible emar, doesn't communicate or link with the patients medical record at hospitals or clinics. It throws up ALL the diagnostic codes that have been in their record at any given time or the potential ones. So weeding through that garbage is an impossible task. Most patients dont know all their history, can't use My Chart, and often don't even know why they are taking all the meds they do. So we're supposed to be accurate in charting without actually seeing labs, test results, or medical records. It's designed to fail and not sure how anyone can defend it. Some good can come out of visits for sure, but the charting and expectations are unacceptable and unachievable!
@b0 I don’t think it will go away, but most definitely be restructured and downsized.
Buncha fraudsters working in Housecalls
Ugh the DOJ keeps fighting although UHC HouseCall’s has the most accurate documentation in the industry.
Anyway, my schedule is listed for the 90 days as recently changed with assignments until June. Definitely not filling up as in the past tho.
Housecalls are going away. The feds are on to the upcoding scam - the only way we'll get a medicare boost is if we dial back all the AI and exec interference to upcode. Also part of the deal to try and get MA as default vs FFS trad medicare.
They seem to be scheduling only about 6 weeks at a time. I think there is a fair chance a LOT of schedulers were laid off? We've been assured the layoffs are done but I have zero trust in that email.
