Daymarck: Report on Our Progress

Making home health coding pain-free and easy. It’s your time to start feeling better.

by CEO Nick Dobrzelecki

In 2007 we started Daymarck with the vision to be THE leader in outsourced home health medical coding. We had the goal of making home health coding as easy and pain-free as possible for agencies of all sizes. February 2011 was our best month yet – and we keep having our best months, month-after-month. All the while improving on our goal of making coding pain-free for you.

Daymarck has grown more than 1000 percent from those early days. It has been a lot of hard work, and long days and nights, but I have been fortunate to have a great team in place and agencies that have benefited from our pain-free coding solution and helped spread the word about Daymarck. We have also learned a lot through our agency relationships and continue to grow daily.

Starting a company in 2007 was a leap of faith. It wasn’t the best economic environment for new business ventures, as we all know, but sometimes the best opportunities come during times of market contractions. And, I knew we had a great product and service that was needed in the marketplace. Daymarck filled a gap and, as we grow, Daymarck will continue to respond to regulatory changes in the home healthcare industry to make your job easier.

8th Annual Home Health Coding Summit

This week August 8-12, for the second year in a row, Daymarck is a sponsor at the 8th Annual Home Health Coding Summit, the gold standard in coding education. The summit is being held at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel for the chance to network with fellow clinicians and coders. Check out our photos of the booth and who we are meeting.

What Agencies Must Do to Survive

Home Care Leadership: What Agencies Must Do to Survive

January 2010

As the debate over health care reform continues, home health agencies are facing an increasingly complex array of rules and guidelines that will dramatically reshape future business operations.

For many agencies, the new rules and guidelines can seem daunting. Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released the Final Rule updating the policies and rates associated with the Medicare home health prospective payment system (HH-PPS) for calendar year (CY) 2010.  In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released its Work Plan for the fiscal year 2010, describing the areas and issues that the OIG will audit, evaluate and inspect in the coming year.
