AseraCare Hospice Care, an Amedisys Company

What AseraCare Hospice Care, an Amedisys Company does

AseraCare Hospice Care operates as a hospice care brand under Amedisys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMED), a publicly traded in-home healthcare provider founded in 1982. Amedisys delivers a continuum of in-home clinical services — home health care, hospice care, palliative care, and high-acuity care at home through its Contessa Health subsidiary — to more than 465,000 patients annually across the United States. Services are delivered through a network of care locations, each typically serving patients within approximately a 50-mile radius within state lines, and accessed via healthcare provider referrals, direct inquiries, and the company's online location finder.

The underlying delivery model is a multi-disciplinary clinical services platform. Hospice care is delivered by interdisciplinary teams including nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, and bereavement specialists, providing physical, emotional, and spiritual support at the end of life. Home health provides skilled nursing and therapy for patients recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic disease. Palliative care offers symptom and pain relief at any stage of serious illness and can be delivered alongside curative treatment. Contessa Health, an Amedisys company, enables hospital-level and skilled nursing care at home in partnership with hospital systems and payors, representing an extension into higher-acuity care settings. The company also offers diagnosis-tailored specialty programs in both home health (such as fall reduction) and hospice.

Amedisys generates revenue by billing healthcare services through Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance programs on a recurring, episodic basis tied to patient care plans. Specific service pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by care plan, insurance coverage, and patient needs. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, with supporting digital channels including content marketing, free online eligibility assessment quizzes, social media on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, and a dedicated healthcare provider referral workflow. Customer segments are primarily older adults, terminally ill patients, patients with serious illness, and high-acuity patients, with primary customer type being individual households and families rather than enterprise accounts.
