Maxim Healthcare Services

What Maxim Healthcare Services does

Maxim Healthcare Services is a privately held U.S. home healthcare platform headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, founded in 1990 and operating across 35+ states through 150+ regional offices with a workforce of 10,000+ employees. The company delivers a continuum of in-home clinical and personal care services — adult and pediatric private duty nursing, home health (infusion therapy, wound and medication management, well mom and well baby visits), companion and respite care, school nursing, and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy — with all programs holding Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) accreditation.

The company's core technology footprint is operational rather than differentiated: a Netsmart-powered patient portal (My Maxim Connect) and a Cybersource-backed online bill pay platform support patient engagement, while service delivery is coordinated through local offices with 24/7 on-call staffing. Specialized programs serve Veterans via the VA Community Care Network, active-duty service members and families through TRICARE (including ECHO home healthcare and the Autism Care Demonstration), and federal civilian workers through Department of Labor Workers' Compensation Programs covering longshoremen, coal miners, and Department of Energy employees.

Maxim operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market, supplemented by referrals from physicians, hospital discharge planners, school districts, and case managers. Revenue is generated on a managed-services basis, billed by hours of care provided and reimbursed through Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, VA CCN, DOL programs, major commercial payors (Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare), and private pay. In 2024, the company reported $1.66 billion in net patient revenue, ranking #1 among the top 15 U.S. home health agencies, and served more than 43,000 patients annually. Leadership is anchored by President and CEO Jarrod DePriest, who joined the company in 1998 as a Healthcare Recruiter, and a tenured executive team including General Counsel Toni-Jean Lisa, Chief Clinical Officer Kellie Lanier, and CHRO Laura Coulombe.
