    Precertification gets visits approved. It does not guarantee payment. Circle helps agencies support skilled need in every visit and reconcile completed care against authorizations before claims go out.

    Reimbursement structure

    Commercial and Medicare Advantage plans often require precertification by service, with approved visits tied to a discipline and date range. Traditional Medicare pays in 30-day periods with 60-day certification episodes. Medicaid adds state-specific eligibility and authorization rules.
