CareGeo for Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania home care agency software, with Chapter 611 built in
A Pennsylvania home care agency answers to 28 Pa. Code Chapter 611: the consumer information packet before services start, and criminal history checks, TB and competency for every caregiver. CareGeo keeps all of it next to scheduling, GPS clock-in, payroll and private-pay billing, in one HIPAA-compliant app, and points each requirement to the rule.
What software do Pennsylvania home care agencies use for Chapter 611?
CareGeo has a Pennsylvania pack built on 28 Pa. Code Chapter 611, the rule for non-medical home care agencies and registries. Before services start, the client or their representative e-signs the consumer information packet required by §611.57(c), and CareGeo keeps the proof on file for inspection (§611.57(d)). Each requirement links to the official Pennsylvania Code.
Does CareGeo track Pennsylvania caregiver requirements?
Yes. Most of Chapter 611 is about the direct care worker, and the caregiver file follows it: interview and two references, the criminal history check (with the FBI check when the applicant has not lived in Pennsylvania for 2 years), provisional hire with the sworn statement, orientation and monitoring while the check is pending, ChildLine clearance when needed, TB screening before client contact and every 12 months, competency before the first visit, and the yearly competency review. It shows what is done, due and overdue for each caregiver.
Does CareGeo handle OAPSA suspected abuse reporting?
Yes. The Pennsylvania incident report follows the Older Adults Protective Services Act regulations (6 Pa. Code 15.151-15.156): what happened, reporting suspected abuse, the extra steps for sexual abuse, serious injury or a suspicious death, what to do if a staff member is suspected, and follow-up, with the deadlines shown.
Does CareGeo work for private-pay home care in Pennsylvania?
Yes, and it was built with a Pennsylvania private-pay agency. You can hide every insurance feature, bill hourly with a flat rate for short visits, sell monthly pre-paid hours with unused hours credited to the next month, bill clients before their visits, and email each invoice to the family. Billing reminders tell you when each client is due.
Does CareGeo support Pennsylvania Medicaid EVV?
Every visit is recorded with GPS clock-in and clock-out, which covers the Cures Act EVV data. CareGeo does not send visits to Pennsylvania's state EVV system today, and Medicaid waiver rules (55 Pa. Code Ch. 52) are not in the pack. Private-pay agencies are not affected. If you bill Medicaid, tell us your program and we will tell you honestly where that stands.
What works for a Pennsylvania agency on day one?
Scheduling, GPS clock-in and clock-out from the free caregiver app, visit notes, medication records, mileage, timesheets and payroll exports, private-pay billing, the new hire packet, the family portal and HIPAA-compliant messaging. Choose Pennsylvania as your state when you sign up and the Pennsylvania pack is turned on.
Is CareGeo HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Client information is encrypted at rest and in transit, access is by role, and a Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan.
