Resources
Practical, Medicare-aligned guidance for hospice and home health agencies navigating billing, compliance, credentialing, and revenue cycle management. This resource center draws on hands-on agency billing experience and ongoing training through organizations such as Palmetto GBA and TMHP, so what you read here reflects real operational challenges, not generic billing advice.
Content is organized by category below, with new articles added regularly as Medicare policy, reimbursement rules, and industry requirements evolve.
Who This Resource Center Is For
From day-to-day claims management to agency startup and ongoing compliance support, Excellence Billing provides the billing expertise your agency needs to operate with confidence.
Hospice and home health agencies don’t fail because of weak clinical care. They struggle because billing, credentialing, and compliance pull attention away from patients without any margin for error. Excellence Billing’s services are built to remove that burden, one function at a time.

Our Approach to This Content
Every article in this resource center is written to be factual, clear, and directly useful, without vague claims or unnecessary marketing language. Where relevant, content references Medicare and CMS definitions rather than paraphrased or informal explanations, so agencies and their advisors can rely on what’s written here.
Our goal is to help hospice and home health teams understand the billing and compliance landscape they operate in, whether or not they ultimately choose to work with Excellence Billing. Informed agencies make stronger decisions, and stronger decisions protect both revenue and patient care.
