SPOTLIGHT ON THE PROVIDER
Our accreditation experience with
ACHC was definitely a positive
one. Our Accreditation Advisor was
very helpful during the process,
answering any questions we had
during the pre- and post-survey
submissions. Our surveyor was
professional and patient, giving
us the opportunity to determine if
the specific item she was looking
for was truly missing. During the
exit interview, she took the time to
thoroughly explain her findings, and
answered any questions we had.
We are extremely pleased with the
excellent customer service that
ACHC provided from start
to finish.”

Since 1994, Millenium Home Health Care has
provided Medicare-certified Home Health Care
services in Pennsylvania, Delaware and, most
recently, has expanded into Florida. A strong
commitment to providing patient-focused
care and delivering quality outcomes are the
foundation on which Millenium is built. Without
exception, their dedication to this mission is
evidenced by their high regard for compliance and program integrity. For
four consecutive years, they have been named to the HomeCare Elite™ and
have surpassed industry standards for clinical excellence, as monitored and
measured by Medicare. Patients and employees are proud ambassadors of
the quality services Millenium provides.
Millenium had several goals which led them to initially seek accreditation.
Among them was the need to meet the accreditation requirement
stipulated by third-party payors as well as seeking deemed status for
their Home Health programs in order to bill Medicare. By utilizing one
Accreditation Organization for all nine of their locations, they have also
been able to streamline practices across their facilities and realize the
benefits of improved efficiencies. Choosing ACHC accreditation has its own
set of benefits – a dedicated Accreditation Advisor, a strong commitment
to excellent customer service as well as offering the shortest timeframe for
completing the accreditation process.
