Free toolkit for home care pros: state EVV rules, ICD-10/CPT decoder, acronym dictionary, license lookup, BLS pay rates. The free Chrome extension home care and home health professionals reach for a hundred times a day — EVV rules, ICD-10 / HCPCS / CPT codes, caregiver acronyms, state license portals, BLS pay rates, and the CMS NPI registry, all one click away. Built for home health aides, CNAs, PCAs, RNs, nurse managers, billers, schedulers, agency owners, and anyone else who works in home care and got tired of re-Googling the same questions every shift. What you get: State EVV Compliance Lookup — All 50 States + DC: Instantly pull up your state's Electronic Visit Verification rules: mandate status, aggregator vendor (HHAeXchange, Sandata, Netsmart, CareBridge, etc.), compliance deadlines, GPS tolerance, and caregiver check-in requirements. Every entry cites the state Medicaid or DHS publication it came from. Built for the 21st Century Cures Act EVV mandate, updated on a quarterly review schedule. ICD-10, HCPCS & CPT Code Decoder: Type or paste any medical billing code — E11.9, I10, Z79.01, T1019, G0156, 99347, 97535 — and get an instant decode with a home-care-relevant context note. Over 1,500 codes bundled and searchable offline. Right-click any code on any webpage to decode it in place. Covers diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, COPD, dementia, Parkinson's, long-term-therapy Z codes, home E/M visits (99341–99350), and every personal care / home health CPT and HCPCS code you bill. Home Care Acronym Dictionary (180+ terms): Finally settle what CDPAP, IHSS, PDGM, OASIS, PDN, MCO, HCBS, PRN, BID, TID, POC, and yes, ADL vs. IADL all actually mean. Plain-English meanings, searchable, with a hover-mode tooltip that expands acronyms on any page as you browse (toggle on only when you want it). Tagged as clinical, billing, regulatory, or role so you can scan fast. Caregiver License Verification Portal Directory: Direct deep-links to every state board's official license-lookup page for RN, LPN, LVN, NP, CNA, HHA, PCA, OT, PT, SLP, and MSW credentials — 450+ verified portals, all HTTPS. Verify a candidate's nursing license, aide registry record, or therapy license without hunting through state government websites. BLS Pay Rates — Every Role, Every State: For every caregiver role, see the Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS median hourly wage, 25th–75th percentile range, and mean — broken out by state and nationally. Answers "what's a realistic HHA wage in Florida?" and "how much do RNs earn in California?" in under five seconds. Directly sourced from the latest BLS OEWS release. NPI Registry Search: Look up any provider in the public CMS National Provider Identifier registry without leaving your tab. Search by first name, last name, and state. No account required, no third-party scraping — the extension queries `npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov` directly. How you'll actually use it: - Pop it open from your toolbar when a case manager asks "what's the HCPCS code for personal care services?" - Keep the side panel open next to your payer portal, EHR, or timesheet app while you work - Right-click any ICD-10 code in an authorization letter to decode it on the spot - Type `hc` in the Chrome address bar followed by your query — for example: `hc evv texas`, `hc e11.9`, `hc license florida cna`, or `hc adl` - Turn on hover mode before reading a clinical note and watch every acronym get a tooltip - Cross-check a new referral partner's NPI in two seconds Who it's for: Home health agencies. Home care agencies. Private-duty caregivers. Caregiver staffing and scheduling coordinators. Medicaid waiver providers. CDPAS / CDPAP and IHSS consumers and family caregivers. Community paramedicine and HCBS programs. RNs and LPNs running home visits. Medical billers coding Medicare home health claims under PDGM. Compliance officers keeping up with EVV mandates. Agency owners evaluating market wages. Why it's free and completely private: We built this because we work in home care every day and needed the same reference tools ourselves. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no telemetry, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. Everything you see — EVV rules, codes, acronyms, portals, pay rates — is bundled with the extension and works offline. The only network request the extension ever makes is the NPI registry query you explicitly click "Search" on, and that goes directly to CMS, not to us.
