Financial Potential of a Home Healthcare Agency
Agencies that provide skilled services often operate with strong, steady income due to reliable billing sources like Medicare and Medicaid.
The Basics of Home Healthcare Profitability
The formula is simple:
Monthly Revenue – Monthly Expenses = Monthly Profit
Let’s break it down using real-world numbers from updated 2025 home healthcare industry data.
In the U.S., the average reimbursement per skilled visit ranges from $175 to $300, depending on the service provided, payer type (Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance), and your geographic location. A full-time nurse or therapist may conduct 4 to 6 visits per day, translating into $14,000 to $30,000+ in monthly billings per clinician.
Home health agencies typically manage multiple clinicians and dozens of active patients, making this model highly scalable. Services are delivered at the patient’s home, which eliminates the overhead costs of operating a physical clinic or facility.
Most expenses go toward staff wages, liability insurance, licensing compliance, and EMR systems. However, because skilled care is reimbursed at a higher rate and doesn’t require facility infrastructure, the profit margins are strong.
Typical net profit margins for home healthcare agencies range from 20% to 35%, with many operators seeing positive cash flow within the first 6 to 12 months of operations.
With proper planning, efficient staffing, and the right support system in place, your agency can grow steadily while delivering meaningful care to those who need it most.


Estimated Monthly Profit Based on Occupancy
Here’s a simplified revenue model:
Weekly Patient Visits | Avg. Revenue per Visit | Monthly Revenue |
50 | $225 | $45,000 |
75 | $225 | $67,500 |
100 | $225 | $90,000 |
Margins typically range from 20–35%, depending on staffing, location, and payer mix.
Note: Revenue and margin may vary based on your location, population served, licensing model, and whether services are reimbursed through Medicaid, VA benefits, private pay, or grants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Starting a Home Healthcare Business
What’s the difference between home care and home healthcare?
Home care focuses on non-medical services such as help with meals, hygiene, and companionship. Home healthcare involves skilled medical services provided by licensed professionals, often reimbursed through Medicare or Medicaid.
How do I start my own healthcare business?
Begin by identifying your state’s licensing requirements, developing a staffing plan, and securing documentation. We walk you through every step, from choosing your business structure to final state and federal approval.
Do I need to be a nurse to open a home health agency?
No, you can own and operate a home healthcare business as a non-clinical entrepreneur. You will need to hire licensed staff to provide patient care.
How do I get a home health care license?
Every state has its own process. Typically, it involves submitting an application, developing clinical protocols, hiring a qualified team, and passing a state inspection. Our experts handle the paperwork and guide you until you’re licensed.
What are the typical home health care license requirements?
Requirements include a business plan, patient care policies, staff credentials, emergency procedures, and proof of compliance with state healthcare regulations.
Do you offer consulting for healthcare staffing agencies?
Yes. If you’re exploring how to start a healthcare staffing agency or looking to expand services, we can guide you through the licensing and operational setup.
Can I offer both medical and non-medical services?
Yes, many agencies provide a combination. We help you determine the right structure and licensing model based on your goals.
What if I already started and got stuck in the process?
No problem. Our consulting team can take over mid-process, fix compliance issues, and help you move forward toward approval.
Can I combine this with a healthcare staffing agency?
Absolutely. Many clients ask how to start a healthcare staffing agency alongside their home health agency. We help you structure it properly and legally.
Do I need a license to start a non-medical home healthcare agency?
Yes, most states require a license even for non-medical agencies. The requirements vary, but typically include background checks, policy documentation, caregiver qualifications, and home healthcare training. We help you navigate and fulfill all licensing steps.
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
Medicare is a federal program that provides health coverage for people over 65 or those with certain disabilities—regardless of income. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that offers coverage to low-income individuals of all ages.
Does Medicare cover home healthcare?
Yes. Medicare Part A and B may cover skilled home health services like nursing, physical therapy, and home health aide care—but only if prescribed by a doctor and certain conditions are met. We help you get Medicare-certified to serve these patients.
How long does licensing take?
Most states take 3–6 months. The faster you begin, the sooner your survey can be scheduled. We help you move forward without costly delays.
