Why I built this

I'm a home health PT who ran a contract therapy agency. The big platforms were built for Medicare-certified agencies with clinical teams — not for someone billing home health companies per visit and paying 1099 therapists. I built HomeHealthSync to do exactly that one job well, without paying for an enterprise EMR I'd never use.

How Much Does Axxess Cost? (And What HomeHealthSync Costs Instead)

It's the question most agencies want answered first, so let's get it out of the way.

Axxess does not publish standard pricing. It's quote-based — typically census-based tiered pricing with a sales process and a one-time setup/implementation fee. Reported numbers from agencies vary widely depending on agency size, product lines, and modules, but expect a real enterprise commitment rather than a self-serve subscription.

HomeHealthSync's pricing is public, simple, and self-serve:

The honest version: Axxess's pricing model makes sense if you're a Medicare-certified agency with a clinical team — that's the market it serves. HomeHealthSync's pricing model makes sense if you're a contract therapy agency that needs billing and payroll to just work without an enterprise budget or procurement cycle.

What Axxess Actually Is (and Who It's For)

Axxess is one of the largest home health software companies in the industry, serving thousands of organizations across home health, home care, hospice, and palliative care. Its suite is built around the operations of Medicare-certified agencies:

By any measure it's a serious platform — if you're running a Medicare-certified agency with a full clinical team. The problem is that small PT, OT, and ST contract therapy agencies get steered toward enterprise platforms like it anyway, and end up paying for — and fighting with — far more software than their model ever needed.

Why Therapy Agencies Look for Axxess Alternatives

Reason 01
It's built for a different model
Axxess assumes you're a Medicare-certified agency billing insurers with a clinical team. Contract therapy agencies invoice home health companies per visit and pay 1099 therapists — a model the enterprise EMR isn't shaped around.
Reason 02
Quote-based pricing & setup fees
Pricing isn't public — it's a custom quote, typically census-based tiers with a sales process and an implementation fee. That's a heavy commitment for a small agency that just needs billing and payroll to work.
Reason 03
Clinical overhead you don't use
OASIS, PDGM, EVV, care-plan documentation — essential for Medicare home health, irrelevant if you're a therapy vendor billing per visit. You pay for and navigate all of it regardless.
Reason 04
No 1099 contractor payroll
The thing therapy contractor agencies need most — visit-based pay for 1099 therapists, calculated from the same data as invoicing — isn't what an enterprise clinical EMR is designed to do.
📌 Let's be straight

If you run a Medicare-certified home health agency with clinical staff and you need OASIS, PDGM claims, and EVV — Axxess is genuinely the right kind of tool, and HomeHealthSync is not. We're not trying to be a clinical EMR. This page is for the contract therapy agencies that don't need one and shouldn't be paying for one.

Where HomeHealthSync fits

HomeHealthSync is billing and 1099 payroll software built specifically for the contract therapy model — agencies that place PT, OT, and ST therapists with home health companies and bill those companies per visit. It's intentionally focused on the operational core:

“The invoices are automated so that saves me hours of work between 6 agencies we work with. It also auto-calculates certification periods and 30-day re-evals for therapists — a huge help for staying compliant. Also very mobile friendly!”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Axxess home health software?

Axxess is an enterprise home health software company whose suite covers clinical EMR, OASIS assessments, Medicare/Medicaid billing and revenue cycle management, EVV, scheduling, and agency operations across home health, home care, hospice, and palliative care. It's built for Medicare-certified agencies with clinical teams — a different category from billing and payroll software for contract therapy vendors.

What's the best Axxess alternative for a small therapy agency?

For a PT, OT, or ST contract therapy agency — placing 1099 therapists with home health companies and billing per visit — HomeHealthSync is purpose-built for that model: visit tracking, multi-agency invoicing, and 1099 payroll with transparent public pricing, minus the clinical EMR overhead. If you run a Medicare-certified agency, Axxess is likely the better fit.

How much does Axxess cost?

Axxess doesn't publish standard pricing — it's custom quotes, typically census-based tiers with a sales process and a setup/implementation fee. HomeHealthSync is public: plans start at $60/month for up to 8 therapists + admins, scaling by team size to $450/month for 80 — 30-day free trial, no credit card.

Is HomeHealthSync a full replacement for Axxess?

For the contract therapy model's billing and payroll, yes. For Medicare-certified clinical agencies needing OASIS, PDGM claims, and EVV — no, and we'll tell you that upfront. They're different categories of software.

Does HomeHealthSync do OASIS, Medicare billing, or EVV?

No — and that's intentional. Contract therapy agencies invoice home health companies rather than billing Medicare directly, so that workflow doesn't apply. If you need it, Axxess is built for exactly that.

Can I switch from Axxess to HomeHealthSync?

If your agency fits the contract therapy model, yes — setup takes under 10 minutes with a 30-day free trial, and there's no clinical-record migration because HomeHealthSync isn't an EMR. You configure agencies, rates, and therapists, and start logging visits.

Andrew built HomeHealthSync after running a home health contract therapy agency and finding the enterprise platforms were built for Medicare-certified agencies, not therapy contractors. HomeHealthSync does the billing and payroll job that model actually needs — without the EMR overhead.
