Statewise vs AlayaCare.Built for Medicaid, state by state.
Where AlayaCare's enterprise, multi-service-line home care platform fits, and where Statewise's Medicaid-native EVV, documentation, and per-state billing win for IDD, pediatric PDN, therapy, and personal care.
AlayaCare fits enterprise breadth. Statewise wins for Medicaid depth.
AlayaCare makes sense for enterprise, multi-region operators running many service lines and payer types on one configurable platform. If your business is US Medicaid HCBS, Statewise is the better fit: EVV, the 485, authorization management, and per-state Medicaid billing built in - not configured yourself - with new forms in about a week, state-rule changes in days, and a roughly 14-week go-live instead of a multi-month rollout.

Medicaid HCBS, configured out of the box.
Purpose-built for Medicaid HCBS
485s, state HCBS forms, and ISP-aligned notes with RN oversight, designed for IDD, PDN, and therapy program rules rather than a broad home care suite.
State-by-state compliance built in
EVV submits to each state's mandated aggregator and documentation follows per-state Medicaid rules out of the box, not configuration you build yourself.
Per-state claim scrubbing
Claims are validated against each state's Medicaid rules before submission, reaching 99.6% clean-claim acceptance.
Faster, focused go-live
A roughly 14-week implementation scoped to your states and programs, instead of a multi-month enterprise rollout across many service lines.
Questions providers ask when comparing the two.
Is Statewise better than AlayaCare?
Statewise is the better fit for US Medicaid HCBS providers - IDD, pediatric private duty nursing, therapy, and personal care - that want state-by-state EVV, documentation, and per-state Medicaid billing built in. AlayaCare is the better fit for enterprise, multi-service-line home care operators that need a broad, configurable platform across many payers and regions.
What is the difference between Statewise and AlayaCare?
AlayaCare is an end-to-end home care operations platform spanning many service lines, payers, and countries with a configurable back office. Statewise is purpose-built for US Medicaid HCBS, with EVV, the 485, state forms, and per-state claim scrubbing tuned to IDD, PDN, and therapy waiver rules.
Is Statewise cheaper than AlayaCare?
Statewise publishes pricing from $1,000 per month, and third-party guides list AlayaCare from around $1,000 per month with additional implementation, migration, and integration fees. Compare on total cost over the contract for your states and programs rather than entry price alone.
Can Statewise replace AlayaCare?
For US Medicaid HCBS providers in IDD, pediatric PDN, therapy, and personal care, Statewise can replace AlayaCare by combining EVV, documentation, and per-state Medicaid billing in one platform. Multi-region operators running many service lines and payer types on one configurable system may prefer AlayaCare's breadth.
Who should use AlayaCare instead of Statewise?
Mid-market to enterprise home care operators running multiple service lines across regions and payer types - home care, home health, infusion, and palliative on one configurable platform - should use AlayaCare.
