Dexur analyzed Medicare Claims data for the period between Q2 2016 and Q2 2019 and reported a 21.99% increase in the total visits corresponding to ICD Z7901 (Primary or Secondary) at EvergreenHealth Home Care in Kirkland, Washington. The total visits associated with this ICD in Q2 2016, was 4,671, and by Q2 2019, this increased remarkably to 5,698. While, on the whole, the growth was not steady, by the end of Q2 2019, the total visits as well as episodes increased significantly.

From the second quarter in 2016 to the same in 2018, the visits fluctuated positively and negatively; while it increased to 4,909 in Q2 2017, for the same quarter in 2018, visits decreased to 4,730. EvergreenHealth Home Care, however, saw a sharp rise in visits only post Q2 2018. The total episodes of the facility remained more or less consistent, with only marginal variations; from a total of 326 in Q2 2016, it increased to 383 by Q2 2019, while during Q2 2017 and 2018, they were 325 and 327, respectively. ICD Z7901 corresponds to Long term (current) use of anticoagulants, and it is one of the most contributing ICDs of this facility, in terms of total episodes.

EvergreenHealth Home Care was established in 1972 and is an integrated two-hospital healthcare system working with a mission to “advance the health of the community it serves.” According to Dexur’s study, between Q4 2016 and Q3 2019, the home health agency ranked first in Washington with respect to the volume of users associated with Sepsis, Hip, and Knee Replacement, Pneumonia, etc., which vouches for their quality and performance.
