HCAV began operations on September 1, 1996 and we now have a
proven track record of exemplary service. We are a network of
independent, community based home medical equipment providers
dedicated to providing quality, outcome-based solutions to the
home health care needs of patients throughout the
Mid-Atlantic.
HCAV recognizes that home care is
being increasingly recognized as a vital part of the continuum
of care and as an efficient way to reduce inpatient hospital
expenditures. With more intense management of the health care
delivery system, the utilization of home care services should
increase as more patients are treated in the lower cost
setting.
HCAV recognizes the importance of
home care in the delivery of cost-effective health care in the
future. HCAV provides the managed care organizations the best
of both worlds. HCAV has the infrastructure and organizational
strengths of the larger providers/networks while still
providing the quality, consistency, and service, which is the
hallmark of the independent, community based providers.
Partnering with HCAV will result
in reduced operational costs, improved home care outcomes, and
result in higher satisfaction and retention rates. One phone
call to HCAV can solve all your referral needs for home care.
HCAV offers centralized intake, billing, and data collection.
HCAV is made up of equity partners
and a panel of approved affiliates and associates. Since
services are provided through credentialed and JCAHO or ACHC
accredited members, associates, and affiliates, there are no
subcontractors. This arrangement creates stability and allows
HCAV to assure quality, utilization, documentation and
performance standards. These attributes establish HCAV as a
premier network with the ability to deliver quality care and
service over a wide geographic area.
Managed care organizations and
other entities served by HCAV can expect high quality care for
its subscribers throughout the state while using locally
operated companies with employees and management committed to,
and involved in, the communities they serve.
