00 — The Practice

Physician-directed care
for your home health patients.

Callahan Healthcare Partners gives home health agencies across the Los Angeles and Bay Area regions one clinical partner for primary care at home, longitudinal care through CCM, RPM, and RTM, and wound care. We also serve skilled nursing facilities and primary care clinics.

Request consultation
Cost to partners $0

Zero cost to home health agencies, SNFs, and PCP clinic partners. We bill Medicare, Medi-Cal, and commercial insurance directly.

Time to first visit ~14 days

From first conversation through any required credentialing to our first patient visit.

Physician oversight 100%

Every clinical decision is traceable to the treating clinician under physician oversight.

Built for home health.
Ready wherever your patients are.

Home health agencies are our primary partners. We also bring the same physician-directed model to skilled nursing facilities and primary care practices.

Primary partner

Home Health Agencies

Your clinicians are in the home. We provide the medical care around them: in-home and telehealth visits, certification and plan-of-care oversight, CCM, RPM, and RTM, and wound care. Your team has one accountable clinical group to call, and your patients have continuity when the episode ends.

  • Primary care visits in the home and by video
  • Certification and plan-of-care oversight
  • CCM, RPM, and RTM run by our care team
  • Wound care in the home
  • Works alongside the patient's existing PCP
  • No cost to your agency

Skilled nursing

Skilled Nursing Facilities

Our physicians and nurse practitioners visit your SNF on a regular schedule. We bring the supplies, perform wound assessment and treatment at the bedside, document to the chart, and coordinate directly with your nursing staff. Zero cost to the facility.

  • On-site at your facility
  • Regular scheduled visits
  • Coordination with DON and MD director
  • We bill insurance directly

Primary care

Primary Care Clinics

For PCPs with patients who need wound care, we embed a wound care clinician — physician or nurse practitioner — in your practice on a regular cadence. You keep your patients. They get specialized treatment without leaving your clinic. Your practice earns appropriate facility revenue where applicable.

  • Embedded in your clinic 1–2 days per week
  • Your patients stay with you
  • Stark- and AKS-compliant structure
  • Turnkey — we handle treatment, documentation, billing

Built for Primary Care Physicians · Internal Medicine · Family Practice

We also see referrals from hospice partners where appropriate. If your setting doesn't fit one of these models cleanly, reach out — we can usually design a workable arrangement.

Three care pathways,
one partner for your agency.

A patient may need one pathway or all three. We work from the referral, stay in contact with your clinicians, and keep the patient's care moving between skilled visits and after discharge.

Primary care at home
Nurse practitioner visits in the home with telehealth follow-up, under physician oversight. Includes face-to-face encounters, home health certification and recertification, plan-of-care oversight, and transitional care after a hospital stay.
Longitudinal care
Month-to-month management through Chronic Care Management, Remote Patient Monitoring, and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring, for patients who qualify and consent.
Wound care
In-home assessment, debridement, CTP grafting when indicated, and outcome tracking, coordinated with the nurses already caring for the patient. See wound care services

Longitudinal care programs

CCM

Chronic Care Management

Ongoing care planning and monthly outreach for patients living with two or more chronic conditions.

Your team sees

A current care plan and a clear contact for medical questions.

RPM

Remote Patient Monitoring

Connected devices send physiologic readings, such as blood pressure, weight, or glucose, for our care team to review.

Your team sees

Clinically relevant trends between skilled visits.

RTM

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring

Tracks patient-reported and non-physiologic data, such as therapy adherence, pain, and function, for qualifying conditions.

Your team sees

Earlier insight into how the patient is responding to treatment.

How it works with your agency

  1. 01

    Referral and intake

    Your team sends the referral. We confirm the patient's choice to enroll and ask the patient, PCP, and agency who already provides related services, so care is not duplicated.

  2. 02

    First visit in the home

    A clinician evaluates the patient in person, completes the face-to-face encounter when one is needed, and identifies which pathways fit.

  3. 03

    During the episode

    Your clinicians deliver the skilled care. We handle physician and NP services, monitoring, and care management, and we communicate changes in the patient's condition.

  4. 04

    After discharge

    Eligible patients can continue with our longitudinal care after the home health episode ends, in coordination with their PCP.

Questions agencies ask

Does this affect our PDGM payment?

No. Physician and NP services sit outside home health consolidated billing. Therapy and supplies covered under the home health benefit stay with your agency.

What does it cost our agency?

Nothing. We bill Medicare and other payers directly. Your agency does not pay us, and we do not pay your agency. Patient cost-sharing may apply, and we review it with patients before they enroll.

What if the patient already has a PCP?

We work with the PCP, and the patient chooses who provides their care. Only one practitioner can bill these care management programs in a given month, so if the PCP already provides CCM, we do not duplicate it.

Is the arrangement compliant?

Clinicians who certify, sign plans of care, or perform face-to-face encounters have no financial relationship with your agency, consistent with 42 CFR 424.22(d). Referrals are never required, and patients always keep their choice of provider.

Most wound care groups are not physician-led.
We are.

That one distinction shapes almost everything about how care is delivered — who makes the clinical decisions, why a graft gets used, how often a patient is seen, and whether anyone is personally accountable when something goes wrong.

  1. 01

    Ownership

    Most wound care companies are organized as staffing or management groups, often with investor ownership and revenue targets. CHP is a California professional corporation, owned and directed by Dr. Callahan.

  2. 02

    Who decides

    In rep-driven models, graft selection tracks rebate structures. At CHP, product choice, frequency, and duration are decided by the treating clinician under physician oversight — based on the wound, not the rebate.

  3. 03

    What gets measured

    Volume-first practices measure applications. We measure healing trajectory. Treatment stops when it is no longer medically indicated. Documentation is complete and auditable.

  4. 04

    Who shows up

    The 2026 CMS reforms drove many wound care operators out of Southern California mid-treatment. Our model is built around the new rules, not broken by them.

▸ The Integrity Pledge

  • Every patient is seen by a clinician under physician oversight. Dr. Callahan is personally accountable for clinical decisions.
  • We treat to heal. Grafts are used when indicated, documented against measurable criteria, and stopped when no longer appropriate.
  • No kickbacks. No per-application bonuses. No sales-rep influence on product selection.
  • Complete, auditable documentation — retained and available to your facility on request.
  • Stark and Anti-Kickback compliant arrangements, reviewed by healthcare counsel.
