AtlasCare vs Homecare Homebase
Homecare Homebase is a Dallas-founded Medicare home health and hospice EHR used by more than one-third of the U.S. Medicare market. Atlas is purpose-built for small private pay agencies running personal care today.
Homecare Homebase (HCHB) is a Dallas, Texas-based home care software company founded in 1999 with a platform serving more than one-third of the U.S. Medicare home health and hospice market — 418,000+ users and over one million patients under management daily. HCHB's platform covers the full clinical and operational workflow for home health, hospice, and personal care agencies: scheduling, revenue cycle management, OASIS clinical documentation, CMS compliance reporting, and EVVLink electronic visit verification across 47 states. Pricing is not publicly listed; third-party software review aggregators estimate starting costs around $100/user/month. Information current as of July 2026.
Atlas Care Software is built for a different part of the market: small and launching private pay personal care agencies in Texas that need scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing without clinical EHR infrastructure, Medicare billing modules, or enterprise-scale implementation projects. If your agency bills families directly for personal care services and you're comparing software options, here's how the two platforms stack up.

Why agencies choose Atlas
Clinical EHR depth vs. private pay simplicity
Homecare Homebase is engineered for Medicare-certified home health and hospice agencies — OASIS assessments, Medicare billing, CMS compliance reporting, and multi-clinician documentation. If your agency bills private pay families for personal care services, you're buying a clinical EHR built around workflows you'll never open. Atlas covers the operations a private pay personal care agency runs every day — scheduling, GPS-verified visits, invoicing — without the Medicare infrastructure.
Texas EVV: interim pass-through vs. Texas-native integration
HCHB's EVVLink supports EVV submission across 47 states, but Texas home health agencies operate on an interim pass-through connection to the state EVV system rather than the full-state integration available elsewhere. Atlas is a Texas company building EVV and billing workflows specifically around Texas HHSC requirements — TMHP/HHAeXchange aggregator integration is in active development. If Texas Medicaid compliance is on your roadmap, verify HCHB's current Texas EVV status with their team.
Pricing you know before a sales call
HCHB does not publish pricing — you'll need a call with their sales team to learn what the platform costs your agency. Third-party review aggregators estimate around $100/user/month, plus enterprise implementation costs that can be significant for a platform of this scale. Atlas publishes its price: free until your first client, then $199/mo flat with no implementation fee and no per-user scaling. For a small agency, that's a number you can build a budget around before any conversation.
Frequently asked questions

Homecare Homebase is built for clinical agencies managing OASIS documentation, Medicare billing, and CMS compliance at enterprise scale. Atlas is purpose-built for private pay scheduling, GPS-verified visits, and invoicing at a flat $199/mo with no implementation fee and no contract.

HCHB's EVVLink platform supports EVV submission in 47 states; however, Texas home health agencies currently use an interim pass-through connection to the state EVV system rather than HCHB's standard full-state EVVLink integration, as of July 2026. If your agency bills Texas Medicaid personal care programs and needs to submit visit data through the HHSC-designated HHAeXchange aggregator, verify HCHB's current Texas compliance status directly with their team.
