For home care agencies

Medicaid applications and renewals, handled from referral to decision.

Ambassador Health takes the whole process off your coordinators’ desks: we reach the family, collect the documents, file with the agency and follow it through, while you watch every case in your own dashboard.

New applications and renewals for existing clients
Why it matters

Medicaid paperwork decides who you can serve.

01

A client without Medicaid is a case that cannot start

New clients arrive needing care now, and the application stands between the referral and the first visit. Every week it sits is a week of care nobody can deliver.

02

A missed renewal is a client you can no longer bill for

Recertifications come due on a schedule your team does not set. One unanswered notice or missing pay stub and coverage lapses, even for a client who still qualifies.

03

Your coordinators end up chasing paperwork

Calling families, collecting documents and following up with the agency is slow, careful work. It pulls your team away from scheduling and care.

How a case moves through Ambassador

You send the referral. We handle everything after it.

  1. Referral

    Your intake team sends the client’s basic information. Everything after that is ours.

  2. Eligibility review

    We check the case early, so a client who looks over the income limit is flagged before anything is filed.

  3. Contact the family

    We call the client or family, explain what is needed in plain language, and follow up until it is done.

  4. Collect documents

    Income, residency, identity, household. We gather each item, reuse what you already hold, and get the signature.

  5. Submit

    The complete application or renewal goes to the agency that handles it, with a record of what was sent.

  6. Track to decision

    We answer requests for more information with the family and report every status change back to you.

Built around your team

We fit how your intake team already works.

We adapt the workflow to your agency, not the other way around. Your point of contact meets with us weekly and can ask for new reports and workflows as your needs change.

  • Your own secure dashboard

    Live status on every client you have referred. You will not have to chase us for an update.

  • Referrals however your team sends them

    Through the dashboard, by email, by phone or by fax. Whatever is easiest for your coordinators.

  • Alongside your current vendor, or instead of it

    Start in parallel and compare speed, responsiveness and approval rates on your own clients, or hand us every case from the beginning.

  • Families reached in their language

    We work with families in most languages, by phone first, with home visits where they are needed.

  • Reports in the format you use

    Weekly summaries built the way your team already reads them, and new reports when you ask for them.

  • Response times in writing

    How fast we acknowledge a referral, reach a family and reply to your team are commitments in your agreement, not promises on a call.

The lines we hold

Clear about what we do, and what we hand off.

  • Spend-downs and pooled trusts, coordinated

    We do not set up spend-downs or pooled income trusts ourselves. We flag clients who appear over the income limit early, connect them with a nonprofit pooled-trust administrator, and stay with the client until the trust is in place. Then we file.

  • We do not decide who qualifies

    Eligibility determinations stay with the Medicaid agency. We prepare, submit and follow through.

  • Client data stays protected

    We sign your BAA, keep client information in HIPAA-compliant systems, and never sell data.

  • We are an independent company

    Ambassador Health is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government program or health plan.
