What is the market like for home health agencies?
A The market can really be separated into three segments: Those agencies that do Medicare, those that do state funded programs such as Medicaid and Med Waiver, and true private duty agencies, whose payor sources can be self-pay, insurance, workers compensation, etc. At this time the market for Medicare agencies seems to be the strongest, and, with the tight budget that many states are facing, the market for agencies with state funded payor sources seems to be the worst. But any good agency on the market today will receive a favorable audience.
