Is it legal to use independent professionals for home health visits?
Marketplace platforms like Quinable connect agencies with independent credentialed healthcare professionals who set their own schedules and choose their own engagements. Whether this model is appropriate for your agency depends on your payer mix, state regulations, and how your agency is structured. Agencies should consult legal counsel for guidance specific to their situation.
How marketplace platforms work
Quinable is a technology marketplace - not a staffing agency. The platform connects credentialed healthcare professionals with agencies and facilities that post open shifts. Professionals on the platform set their own availability, choose which shifts to accept, and work across multiple clients. Quinable does not direct care delivery or supervise clinical work.
What agencies should evaluate
- Your payer mix - Medicare and Medicaid have specific requirements about who can deliver billable services
- Your state's licensing requirements - some states have specific rules about how home health services can be delivered
- Your agency's operational structure - how your agency manages clinical oversight and care coordination
- Legal counsel guidance specific to your state and payer contracts
