Ankota - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Ankota is a cloud-based home care management platform that consolidates scheduling, EVV, care plan management, billing, payroll, and reporting into a single system of record.

The platform supports non-medical home care, EVV-compliant Medicaid services, adult day programs, I/DD and LTSS providers, and self-direction FMS organizations - including agencies running multiple service lines simultaneously across multiple locations and payers.

Core Functions

- Scheduling Engine: Drag-and-drop calendar with conflict detection, recurring schedule templates, caregiver-client matching, geographic routing, open-shift broadcasting, and shift-swap workflows

- Electronic Visit Verification (EVV): GPS-verified clock-in/clock-out, telephony fallback, geofencing, and AI-assisted visit review that auto-flags anomalies (location mismatches, duration outliers, missed tasks) for exception-based approval

- Caregiver Mobile App: iOS and Android, multi-language support, offline mode, task and care plan visibility, open-shift pickup, time-off requests, secure messaging, and document acknowledgment

- Family Portal: Visit updates, shared calendars, care notes, and communication tools - reducing inbound coordinator calls

- Care Plan Management: Configurable assessments, task templates, goal tracking, and outcomes reporting tied to visit verification

- Billing: Medicaid, managed care, VA, LTC insurance, and private-pay billing with clean-claim generation, 837/835 EDI support, electronic remittance posting, AR aging, and payer-specific rule engines

- Payroll: Generated directly from approved visits with overtime, travel time, mileage, differential pay, and export to common payroll processors

- Reporting & Analytics: Operational dashboards, KPI tracking, custom report builder, and exportable data for BI tools
