How is OT billing software for a home health contract agency different from clinic OT software?

Clinic OT software (often shared with PT — Jane App, WebPT, etc.) is built for outpatient practices billing Medicare and commercial insurers — CPT coding, claim submission, ERA posting. Home health OT contract agencies don't bill insurance; they invoice the home health companies that contract their OTs, per visit, at a contracted rate, and pay 1099 OTs from the same data. That's a different software category entirely — built around multi-agency rate matrices and contractor payroll, not CPT codes and clearinghouses.

What features does OT billing software need for a home health contract agency?

An OT contract therapy agency needs: real-time visit logging from OTs in the field, per-visit-type OT rates configured per home health agency, automatic invoice generation per agency, HIPAA-compliant invoice delivery, integrated 1099 OT payroll calculated from the same visit data, direct contractor payment processing, and 30-day re-eval tracking. Most general billing tools and insurance-billing OT EMRs cover two or three of these at best.

Occupational Therapy Billing Software
Built for Home Health OT Contract Agencies.

Q: What is the best occupational therapy billing software for a home health OT contract agency?

HomeHealthSync is built specifically for the home health OT contract therapy agency model — agencies that contract 1099 occupational therapists and place them with home health companies. It handles per-agency OT visit rates (eval, ADL training, home safety, re-eval, discharge), automated multi-agency invoicing, HIPAA-compliant delivery, integrated 1099 OT contractor payroll, and direct Stripe payments. Outpatient OT clinic EMRs are built for a different model — insurance claims and clinic-based care.

Q: Does HomeHealthSync handle the OT-PT pairing common in home health?

Yes. In home health, the same patient often gets PT and OT visits in the same certification period — and your agency may bill the home health company for both. HomeHealthSync tracks visits by discipline and therapist independently, so OT and PT visits to the same patient flow through your invoicing and payroll correctly without manual reconciliation.

Q: Can I use HomeHealthSync if I run an outpatient OT clinic billing insurance?

No — and we'll tell you that upfront. HomeHealthSync doesn't submit insurance claims, doesn't handle CPT coding or ERA posting, and isn't built for clinic-based OT operations. For that, a tool like Jane App or WebPT (which both serve OT clinics) is the right fit. HomeHealthSync is specifically for OT contract therapy agencies that bill home health companies per visit.

Q: How much does OT contract therapy billing software cost?

HomeHealthSync is $60/month for up to 8 active OTs (or mixed PT/OT/ST therapists) or $149/month for unlimited therapists. Both plans include visit tracking, multi-agency billing, HIPAA-compliant invoice delivery, integrated 1099 contractor payroll, direct Stripe payments, and 1099-NEC tracking. No per-user fees, no setup costs. 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

Bill home health companies per OT visit — eval, ADL training, home safety, re-eval, discharge. Run 1099 OT contractor payroll from the same visit data. Track shared PT-OT patient certification windows automatically. Built for the home health OT contract model, not for clinic insurance billing.

Why I built this

I'm a home health PT who ran a contract therapy agency placing PT, OT, and ST contractors with home health companies. OT was its own headache — same per-visit billing model, different rates, often paired with PT on the same patient, and zero clean tools to track it. HomeHealthSync handles OT the same way it handles PT and ST: as a visit-based discipline billed per agency, paid per contractor.

Two Very Different Kinds of "Occupational Therapy Billing Software"

Search "occupational therapy billing software" and you'll find tools serving two very different OT business models. Picking the wrong category costs you money and time.

1. Outpatient OT Clinic Insurance Billing

Built for OT clinics and pediatric OT practices billing Medicare and commercial insurers — CPT coding, claim scrubbing, prior authorizations, evaluation/treatment time tracking. Examples: Jane App (multi-disciplinary, often includes OT), WebPT (PT-led but used by some OT clinics), specialty pediatric OT EMRs. If you run a clinic billing insurance, this is your category — HomeHealthSync isn't.

2. Home Health OT Contract Therapy Agency Billing

Built for therapy vendors and agencies that contract 1099 OTs and place them with home health companies. The agency invoices each home health company per OT visit at a contracted rate, then pays each OT from the same visit data. Features: per-agency OT rate matrices, multi-agency invoicing, integrated 1099 OT contractor payroll, HIPAA-compliant invoice delivery. This is what HomeHealthSync is built for.

Most agencies running the contract model end up with an OT clinic tool plus QuickBooks plus a spreadsheet plus Gusto — and still doing the rate math manually. The whole point of purpose-built software is to make that vanish.

The OT Contract Therapy Workflow (and Why It's Different from PT)

The OT contract therapy workflow looks structurally similar to PT but has some key differences worth designing around:

OT often comes onto a home health case after PT has started — meaning your OT may join an existing certification period mid-cycle
OT-PT shared patients are common — the same patient gets both disciplines, and your agency may be billing for both
OT visit types differ from PT — OT eval, OT visit (often ADL or home safety focused), OT re-eval, OT discharge
Per-agency rates often differ for OT vs PT, even within the same home health company
OT visits may have specific equipment or home-modification line items that need to be captured per visit

Any tool you use needs to treat OT as a first-class discipline — not as a PT add-on or a generic "therapy" bucket.

Why Generic Tools Don't Fit OT Contract Agencies

Tool 01

Jane App / WebPT (clinic OT)

Strong for outpatient clinics billing insurance — CPT codes, claim submission, scheduling. None of that applies to billing home health agencies per visit. No multi-agency rate matrix, no 1099 OT payroll.

Tool 02

QuickBooks / FreshBooks

Invoice generation only — no way to collect OT visit data from the field, no per-visit-type rate engine, no HIPAA-compliant delivery, no contractor payroll. Manual everything before QB touches it.

Tool 03

WellSky / Kinnser

Enterprise EMR built around Medicare-certified home health agency operations — OASIS, PDGM, EVV. Powerful but completely overkill for a contract therapy agency that just needs to bill and pay.

Tool 04

Spreadsheets + Email

Manual visit collection, manual rate lookup per OT and per agency, manual payroll, no HIPAA-compliant invoicing. Works for 2–3 OTs. Breaks down at scale, and re-eval dates always slip.

What Occupational Therapy Billing Software Needs (for a Contract Agency)

Feature 01

OT Visit Logging from the Field

OTs log visits from phone or browser right after the visit — date, patient, OT visit type (eval, ADL, home safety, re-eval, discharge), home health agency. Captured at the source.

Feature 02

Per-Agency OT Rate Matrix

Each home health company has its own OT rates per visit type. Configured once per agency; applied automatically to every OT visit going forward.

Feature 03

OT + PT on Shared Patients

When a patient gets both disciplines, OT and PT visits flow into the right invoices at the right rates without manual reconciliation. Two disciplines, one patient, clean billing.

Feature 04

Multi-Agency Invoicing

Close a billing cycle and one invoice generates per home health agency — itemized by OT, visit date, and visit type. No manual building per cycle.

Feature 05

Integrated 1099 OT Payroll

Each OT's pay calculated automatically from the same visit data driving invoicing. No re-entry, no parallel payroll sheet, no reconciliation.

Feature 06

Direct Contractor Payments + 1099-NEC Tracking

Pay OTs via Stripe ACH from inside the platform. Every payment logged for January 1099-NEC reporting — no year-end reconstruction.

Who This Is — and Isn't — For

HomeHealthSync is the right fit if you:

Run a therapy agency that contracts 1099 OTs (alone or alongside PTs/STs)
Place those OTs into home visits with home health companies
Bill those home health companies per visit at contracted rates
Pay OT contractors per visit, not by salary
Need HIPAA-compliant invoice delivery + 1099-NEC tracking

HomeHealthSync is NOT the right fit if you:

Run an outpatient OT clinic or pediatric OT practice billing insurance (use Jane App, WebPT, or a comparable clinic EMR)
Need a clinical EMR with CPT coding, treatment notes, prior auth tracking
Are a solo OT in private practice billing insurance directly
Operate a Medicare-certified home health agency needing OASIS / PDGM (use WellSky)

Does HomeHealthSync handle the OT-PT pairing common in home health?

Yes. OT and PT visits to the same patient flow through invoicing and payroll independently and correctly — no manual reconciliation when both disciplines are billed for one patient.
