About the Course

In collaboration with Monea Williams, FNP, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce The Medicare Home Risk Assessment Course! This course is your guide on how to start a successful Medicare home risk assessment business! This service can be started as a standalone practice or integrated into an already established practice and is relatively simple to do! If you are doing these for a "middle man" now, then STOP giving them the money that YOU are generating and do this yourself instead!

This course is designed for the nurse practitioner who is looking to start a high revenue, low expense, and a low barrier to entry practice or to simply integrate another profitable revenue stream into their already established practice. And the best part? It is a needed service that will only GROW as more and more of our population age and begin utilizing Medicare.

This course is the only course on the market that is designed specifically for nurse practitioners on how to perform Medicare home risk assessments. This course will teach the astute nurse practitioner on how to perform the home risk assessments in addition to the business components of this niche service.

Medicare home risk assessments are becoming an increasingly needed service as our population ages. Insurance companies and private practices are needing these home risk assessments done because it increases reimbursement from Medicare. Essentially, Medicare sets aside higher amounts of reimbursement for the sicker patients. The more comorbidities a patient has, the more Medicare allocates for the patient for the year to cover medical expenses. This in turn increases the revenue of both the insurance companies and the private practices, more specifically primary care. So, it is in high demand!

Your job as a home risk assessment nurse practitioner is to basically identify all the comorbidities a patient has, assign diagnosis codes to these, and this in turn results in a higher risk adjustment score. After the visit, the documentation is submitted for reimbursement and Medicare can now allocate more resources to the patient. THIS is a necessary service as the population ages and makes for an excellent business opportunity for the astute nurse practitioner entrepreneur.

The benefits of starting this type of practice or integrating these services into your established practice are numerous and include low overhead, it is easy to learn and does not require experience, it has MINIMAL liability associated with it, it costs very little to start/implement, and has long term growth and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have unlimited access to this course?

Absolutely! You can access this course however many times you want for however long you want! All Elite Nurse Practitioner Courses are pre-recorded and accessible indefinitely!

Will this course really teach me how to start a Medicare home risk assessment business?

YES! We go over each step you need to know to get start on the right foot. We cover everything from insurance billing to LLC formation, to coding, to diagnosis codes, and everything in between! I am confident you will walk away with what you need to know!

Will this course teach me how to get the contracts to do the risk assessments?

YES! We cover the process on how to get the contracts from the insurance company so they can begin sending you patients. The process is simple!

What kind of nurse practitioner can do this?

FNPs, ANPs, GNPs, WHNPs, and ACNPs can perform these Medicare home assessments. PMHNPs can as well in certain states and under certain insurance plans. That would be something you would need to talk to your insurance credentialer about to ensure you can secure the contracts if you are a PMHNP. Obviously, PNPs can't because these are older patients.

How long does it take to start a Medicare home risk assessment business?

Typically, it will take around 3 months minimum to get started. The biggest factor here is insurance credentialing and securing risk assessment contracts. Once that is done, it is smooth sailing!

Do I need to have a special certification to do this?

No! You just need to be a licensed nurse practitioner and be credentialed with insurance companies.

Will this course cover marketing?

Yes and no. It will cover the basics in regard to this business, but the beautiful thing about this practice is that most business is provided to you by the insurance company, therefore marketing is NOT that important!

Do I need to have a physician collaborator?

Only if your state requires this! Some states are allowing nurse practitioners to do this independently. Some states though will require a physician collaborator. It ultimately comes down to the insurance companies’ rules and regulations, therefore during the startup process it is important to discuss this with your insurance credentialer.

I already own a practice; would this course benefit me?

Absolutely! If you are looking for a fairly high profit revenue stream in your practice, then this would be a great addition. If you operate an insurance accepting practice, then integrating this into your practice could prove to be invaluable.

Absolutely! The bread and butter of this service line is billing and coding appropriately and this course covers that in detail!
