Tomorrow Health launches automated ordering process

NEW YORK – Tomorrow Health has launched Clinical Rules Engine, a tool that it says fully automates the order lifecycle for the full spectrum of DME codes.  

Referring care providers using the tool are guided through a five-question digital form that’s fully customized to a patient's participating health insurance plan. When they complete the form, the order is immediately routed to the home-based care supplier best suited for the patient's needs. 

"High-touch management of care transitions from hospital to home or post-acute care to home requires that we simplify and digitize the process, improving care transitions and providing payers, care teams and all parties with up-to-the-minute visibility into care status," said Vijay Kedar, co-founder and CEO. "Fully automating one of the most cumbersome and technical parts of the home healthcare coding process is a big step forward for drifting down readmissions and restoring lower-cost home settings as patients' primary place of care." 

Clinical Rules Engine is in active rollout with referring care providers. 

Tomorrow Health says the tool cuts a traditionally one- to two-week process to five days or fewer for most orders, with half delivered in two days, ensuring patients get the home-based care they need, when they need it.  

"Tomorrow Health makes documentation and order fulfillment much easier, which helps us submit claims and receive payment more timely," said Shawna Morton, vice president of contracts at Rotech Healthcare. "Reducing reimbursement complexity is a huge step forward in ensuring patients get the equipment they need when they need it the most.”
