Home Centered Care Institute

What Home Centered Care Institute does

Home Centered Care Institute (HCCI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 and headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, dedicated to expanding access to home-based primary care (HBPC) in the United States. The organization operates a four-pillar model covering education, consulting, research, and advocacy, targeting the estimated 7 million-plus homebound or home-limited Americans of whom fewer than 15% currently receive house call medical care. HCCI serves three primary buyer segments: individual providers and professionals seeking CME/CE training, practice directors running house call programs, and population health leaders within ACOs, Medicare Advantage organizations, and health systems.

The company's core product portfolio includes the HCCI Learning Hub (online CME/CE courses), the HCCIntelligence Community membership ($295/year), Confer Analytics (a business intelligence platform integrating Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid claims data across 200M+ lives with 35+ interactive dashboards), HCCInteractive Solutions Packages (consulting bundles for revenue optimization, CCM implementation, staffing, and value-based care readiness), Practice Consulting, Custom Education, and a Curriculum Licensing program for organizations with in-house LMS. HCCIAssist, a proprietary AI chatbot built on the expertise of seasoned house call professionals, is available to community members. The organization also runs the House Call Advisor Network for mentorship and statewide pilot projects (Florida launched 2020, Illinois launched 2022).

HCCI's business model blends earned revenue (subscription memberships, enterprise analytics subscriptions priced at $3,500-$5,450/year, individual course sales, consulting retainers, and curriculum licensing) with philanthropic support from foundations including the John A. Hartford Foundation, Alfred Bersted Foundation, Hearst Foundations, and Elea Institute, plus individual and corporate donations. Distribution combines self-service e-commerce via the Learning Hub, direct enterprise sales for Confer Analytics and consulting, LMS licensing for organizational buyers, and statewide pilot projects. Strategic partnerships with AAHCM, Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, CTAC, GAPNA, and academic partners including Rush University Medical Center and Loyola Medicine support both advocacy and program delivery.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• PlayMaker Health: Sales and marketing intelligence platform for home health, hospice, and post-acute providers. PlayMaker overlaps with Confer Analytics' market intelligence use cases for HBPC operators, though its focus is more on referral pipeline than claims analytics.

Direct peers

• American Academy of Home Care Medicine: National professional association for home care medicine practitioners with overlapping mission to advance HBPC. AAHCM is a current HCCI partner on the House Call Finder directory, making it both a peer and collaborator serving the same provider base.
• Trella Health: Healthcare analytics platform purpose-built for home health, hospice, and post-acute providers using CMS claims data. Trella is the closest direct competitor to Confer Analytics in the home-care-specific market intelligence category.
• National Association for Home Care & Hospice: Leading trade association representing home care and hospice providers. NAHC is comparable to HCCI in serving and advocating for the home-based care ecosystem, with broader provider focus but overlapping education, advocacy, and policy engagement missions.

Broad incumbents

• Amedisys: Public home health and hospice provider operating across 30+ states. Amedisys is a scaled incumbent in the home-care delivery category HCCI supports and a potential large enterprise customer for HCCI's training and Confer Analytics offerings.
• Landmark Health: Large in-home medical care provider serving complex chronic and frail elderly patients, often in value-based contracts. Landmark is a downstream buyer of HCCI's training and analytics and a comparable scale player in the home-based primary care delivery category HCCI supports.
• Visiting Nurse Service of New York: Large nonprofit home and community-based health care provider with extensive education, training, and workforce development programs. VNSNY shares HCCI's nonprofit, mission-driven approach to home-based care delivery and could be both a peer and potential enterprise partner.
• Definitive Healthcare: Public healthcare commercial intelligence company providing analytics on providers, payors, and healthcare organizations. Definitive Healthcare competes with Confer Analytics at the broader healthcare intelligence layer and could expand further into the home-care vertical.
• CenterWell: Humana's home health and primary care division operating large-scale home-based medical care programs. CenterWell is a scaled enterprise buyer/peer in the HBPC market and a natural customer or competitor depending on HCCI's enterprise GTM motion.
• HealthStream: Public healthcare workforce education and credentialing company providing CE/CME and compliance training at enterprise scale. HealthStream is comparable to HCCI's Learning Hub and curriculum licensing business from a healthcare CE distribution perspective.
