Cardinal Care covers home health billing for eligible Virginia beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population.

Because each MCO credentials providers separately and enrollment runs 60-120 days from clean application, confirming plan assignment and credentialing status before the first Falls Church visit is decisive for clean first-pass payment. Across Falls Church's 111 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
