NCCI Code 8835 — Home Health Care

8835

NCCI Code

$3.42

Per $100 Payroll

What Code 8835 Covers

Code 8835 covers home health aides, visiting nurses, and in-home caregivers. The rate is higher than hospital codes because of the unpredictable nature of working in patients' homes — different environments, travel risks, and less controlled settings.

Common Misclassification Issues

Office-based care coordinators, schedulers, and billing staff coded under 8835. These should be 8810 clerical.

How This Affects Your Premium

At $3.42 per $100 of payroll, an employee earning $50,000/year classified under code 8835 adds approximately $1,710 to your annual premium. If that employee should actually be in a lower-rate code like 8810 (clerical at $0.16/$100), you'd save approximately $1,629 per employee per year.

Multiply that by every misclassified employee, and the overpayment adds up fast.
