Home care is a payroll-heavy, reimbursement-slow business: you pay caregivers weekly but Medicaid and insurers pay much later. Home health and home care funding bridges that gap so you can grow your census confidently.
What home health care business owners fund
- Payroll — pay caregivers before reimbursements arrive
- Hiring & onboarding — recruit, train and background-check staff
- Licensing & compliance — accreditation and software
- Growth — expand territory and services
Payroll weekly, reimbursement in 30–90 days. Receivables factoring turns approved claims into cash now, so caregiver payroll is never at risk.
Funding options
Medical receivables factoring advances cash against Medicaid and insurance claims; a line of credit and working capital cover payroll and growth; staffing-style funding fits high-payroll agencies.

Frequently asked questions
How do home care agencies cover payroll before reimbursement?
Medical receivables factoring and lines of credit advance cash against Medicaid and insurance claims so payroll is always covered.
Can a new home health agency get funding?
