Where Carelytic wins
HCHB is engineered for large multi-branch home health and hospice organizations. If your agency is 25-100 employees, an enterprise platform often means paying for — and navigating — capability you don't use. Carelytic is sized and priced for the mid-market.
Carelytic lists Starter / Professional / Enterprise pricing with active-client caps and no enterprise contract minimum. HCHB is sold through enterprise agreements with quote-based pricing.
Carelytic onboarding auto-detects 20 of 24 setup tasks and most agencies go live in 14-30 days. Enterprise platforms typically run longer, more involved implementations.
AI SOAP draft, Pre-Sign QA, and evidence-cited Coding Review ship in every tier — anchored to documentation, not framed as reimbursement uplift.
Why agencies switch
Most agencies don't switch platforms casually — it's a real project. These are the triggers we hear most often from agencies that moved off HomeCare HomeBase.
Book a demoCarelytic vs HomeCare HomeBase — FAQ
Yes, for mid-market agencies. Carelytic covers the same core home health workflows — OASIS-E2, CMS-485, PDGM, billing, EVV, scheduling, payroll. HCHB is built for large enterprise home health and hospice organizations, so the best fit depends mainly on your agency's size and whether you also run a large hospice line.
Carelytic publishes its pricing — Starter $350/mo, Professional $999/mo, Enterprise from $2,499/mo, with no enterprise contract minimum. HCHB pricing is quote-based and sold through enterprise agreements, so a direct comparison requires an HCHB quote. Carelytic's tier model is designed to be accessible to mid-market agencies.
Carelytic's Enterprise tier serves 101+ active clients with multi-branch reporting, SSO, and a dedicated CSM. That said, Carelytic is purpose-built for the mid-market (25-100 employees). Very large enterprise home health and hospice organizations may find HCHB's enterprise depth a closer fit.
Most agencies go live on Carelytic within 14-30 days. White-glove data migration is included on Professional and Enterprise tiers, and 20 of 24 onboarding tasks auto-detect from your data so your CSM focuses on what's actually left.
