Built Medicaid-first, from visit to remittance.
The only true end-to-end Medicaid system
Native GPS EVV, waiver documentation, and AI Medicaid billing run in one platform - visit to 835 - with no seam between the visit and the claim.
Built for provider ROI, not just documentation
Statewise measures success in revenue recovered and admin hours returned - which is how providers reach 99.6% clean-claim acceptance, not just a place to store notes.
Medicaid-native, not Medicare-adapted
State waiver forms, HCBS service codes, and IDD documentation are the product - not an all-payer home-health suite that treats Medicaid as one payer among many.
Forms and changes that keep up
New custom forms in about a week, and state-rule changes ship in days. When a state changes its rules, Statewise keeps up in days, not multi-month cycles.
