About the Course

Learn how to develop your own Medicare home risk assessment business with the Elite Nurse Practitioner and Monea Williams, FNP. This service can be started as a standalone practice or integrated into an already established practice. These assessments are relatively simple to do if you know your way around these systems, and we are here to help you become an expert in this field. It’s possible for you to take control of the entire clinical and administrative risk assessment process, putting money in your pocket and eliminating the middle man.

This course is designed for the nurse practitioner who is looking to start a high revenue, low expense, and a low barrier to entry practice. These services can also be integrated into an existing practice, opening another profitable revenue stream. Medicare home risk assessment is a needed service that will only grow as our population ages and begins utilizing Medicare.

This course is the only Medicare home risk assessment curriculum on the market that is designed specifically for nurse practitioners. This course will teach the astute nurse practitioner both the medical and business aspects of this niche service.

Insurance companies and private practices are in serious need of providers that are well versed in the risk assessment process. When performed strategically, these assessments can lead to increased Medicare reimbursement rates per patient. The sicker the patient, the more Medicare will pay for their care. This in turn increases the revenue of both the insurance companies and private practices, especially primary care clinics. This entire process generates high value and revenue, and NPs can play a crucial role.

Your job as a home risk assessment nurse practitioner is to identify all comorbidities a patient has and assign diagnosis codes to each condition, which are used to calculate a risk adjustment score. After the visit, the documentation is submitted for reimbursement and Medicare can now allocate appropriate resources to the patient. This is a necessary service for elderly patients with many complex health needs, and makes for an excellent business opportunity for the astute nurse practitioner entrepreneur.

The benefits of starting this type of practice or integrating these services into your established practice are numerous: these services are cheap to provide, easy to learn, and have minimal associated liability. Medicare home risk assessment is a lean business that results in healthy revenue and high profits for business owners. A true win-win!

You can access this course however many times you want for however long you want. All Elite Nurse Practitioner Courses are pre-recorded and accessible indefinitely.

Will this course teach me how to secure risk assessment contracts?

What kind of nurse practitioner can do this? 

FNPs, ANPs, GNPs, WHNPs, and ACNPs can perform these Medicare home assessments. PMHNPs can in certain states and under certain insurance plans.

PNPs can't perform Medicare assessments because they are used for older patients.

Do I need a physician collaborator? 

Only if your state requires this. Some states allow nurse practitioners to do this independently. Some states will require a physician collaborator. It ultimately comes down to each insurance company’s’ rules and regulations, so be sure to discuss this with an insurance representative before starting up your practice.

I already own a practice. Would this course benefit me? 

Absolutely! If you are looking for a high profit revenue stream for your practice, then this would be a great addition. If you operate an insurance-accepting practice, then integrating this into your practice could prove to be valuable.

Makenzie L: Justin is a phenomenal mentor! He is truly paving the way for NPs across the US. Without the Elite NP group I never would’ve felt confident enough to even remotely consider branching out on my own. Looking back over a year ago to where I am now it’s just astounding. I’m so thankful I stumbled across this page! Thank you Justin and all the other NPs for the ongoing support.
