Smart Business Solutions
The Essential Leverage for Home Health/Hospice Businesses

Being the leading management, consulting, and billing company for the home health and hospice sector, Smart Business Solutions offers enrolment, management, billing, M&A, efficiency, and compliance consulting and training. The company also helps skilled home health, in-home hospice agencies, and others prepare and conduct tri-annual inspections, technology upgrades, service expansion, management personnel staffing, and onboarding. After all, starting a business is difficult, especially one with a maze of regulatory bodies that all require extensive, sometimes multi-year, application and inspection processes. That’s where Smart Business Solutions can help.

“We remove knowledge based entry barriers. Our customers don’t have to waste time learning the ins and outs of 500+ pages of various applications they’ll never need again, and are hand held through several inspections,” says Larry Treystman, the co-founder at Smart Business Solutions. The company guides clients through every step of the process, saving time, which can be a multi-year reduction depending on the facility type. This results in tens of thousands of dollars in cost savings and years of opportunity cost. After enrolment with Smart Business Solutions, customers come out trained and ready to go. Once customers are active, the company helps them navigate compliance, efficiency, and annual law and process changes from the various regulatory bodies.

What differentiates Smart Business Solutions is that the company is, as Larry mentions, established as a ‘consultant’s consultants.’ For example, consultants in their field ask Smart Business Solutions for advice and often contract them to prepare and liaison surveys on their behalf. Similarly, regulatory contractors such as ACHC, CHAP, and the Joint Commission often consult them on process changes and industry heartbeats.

“This means we know what’s coming before it comes. And in healthcare, that advantage can be the difference between getting enough supplies before they run out, getting inspections faster, and having a say in top line changes,” mentions Treystman.

Another differentiator point is that the company uses the latest technology and keeps in constant contact with all relevant regulatory sources. The knowledge and efficiency speak for themselves, as most of its business comes through word of mouth.

For the future, Smart Business Solutions will be expanding in three directions. First, the company is expanding territorially. They already provide active agency consulting nationwide and are adding enrolment services to more cities and states every day. Secondly, Smart Business Solutions is adding sub-industries such as General Acute Hospitals, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Drug Rehab Facilities, and Dialysis Clinics. This is set to start after the summer. Lastly, the company is looking at emerging technologies such as telehealth, virtual reality, wearable tech, and much more to understand how they can be early adopters.

“The current healthcare climate is volatile. We face constant rule changes based on exterior factors like the COVID pandemic, technology improvements, and budget cuts,” informs Treystman. “We’re seeing a huge uptick of people outsourcing their administrative compliance, like scheduling and running board meeting agendas, implementing corrections, monitoring the emergency responses and plans, managing the competency of staff, and guiding companies through pandemic response tiers, and we will be there to help.”
