Why home health care professionals should send great invoices
You provide an incredibly important service by visiting clients in their home and providing the health care services they need to stay healthy and comfortable.
You work hard to provide the specific medical care each client needs, so you need a flexible, detailed invoice that covers a variety of services. In addition, billing for your services can get complicated if you need to bill government or private insurers for any medical services.
Your invoices need to be highly organized and easy-to-understand so everyone involved knows exactly what you are charging for.
A sophisticated, well-designed invoice also reflects positively on your image as a home health care professional, and creates credibility and confidence in your skills.
Once you've downloaded your free invoice template, you'll need to customize it to fit your specific business. Here are the 10 key things to include on your invoice:
- Title and Description: Name the project and briefly describe what type of work your client is being invoiced for.
- Company Details: Add your company name, address, phone number, and logo to the top-right corner.
- Customer Details: Under "Bill To", add your customer's name, address, and contact information.
- Invoice Number: Include a unique invoice number to help you track down this invoice in the future. You can format this based on sequence and customer. For example, if you're sending your very first customer their first invoice, the invoice number could be 001-001.
- Dates: Include the date when your invoice has been issued and the date when payment is due.
- Line Item: Add individual line items for each unique good or service you provided. For each line item, include a brief description, quantity, individual unit price, and total price.
- Subtotal: Add up the subtotal of your goods or services, before tax has been applied.
- Tax: Indicate the tax rate applied to the subtotal. This is legally required to provide on invoices, and your rate may differ depending on where you run your business.
- Total: Outline the total amount due from the customer, after tax.
- Notes: Include any additional info your customer should know, including terms of service and payment terms (for example, payments are due 30 days after the invoice has been issued).

When is the right time to send a home health care invoice?
If this was just a one-time visit, such as an occupational therapy assessment, you may want to give the invoice to the client immediately after the visit. But usually you are visiting your clients on a regular, ongoing basis, or for an extended period of time if they are recovering from an accident or illness – so it’s a good idea to decide on a payment schedule.
Even if the government or a private insurer is covering the cost for your client, you still need to invoice for the cost of the service.
Whatever payment cadence you choose, make sure it’s clearly noted on each invoice, and clarify what portion of the final ‘cost’ has been paid to date.
