| Question | Adult Day Genie | One Care Portal (as it describes itself) |
|---|---|---|
| Who is the platform built for? | Adult day centers only. Attendance, care plans, forms, family updates, reports, and Medicaid claims for one setting. | A broad Medicaid HCBS platform: case management agencies, IDD providers, supportive housing, and ADHC centers, plus a standalone billing module. |
| How is it priced? | Flat published plans: $99/month Attendance; $299/month Daycare Plan up to 100 members, then $5 per member. Month-to-month, no setup fee. | Published usage pricing of $5.99 per active participant per month for care management, plus $1.50 per submitted claim for billing. Month-to-month. |
| What does 100 members cost per month? | $299 on the Daycare Plan — the flat price covers up to 100 members before per-member pricing begins. | About $599 at $5.99 per active participant, before per-claim billing fees. Confirm current rates with the vendor. |
| How does Medicaid billing work? | A self-serve add-on that prepares 837P claims from the connected attendance record, priced at 1% of each claim’s billed amount. | A billing module priced per submitted claim, with claim validation, denial management, and 835 ERA posting; it can also run standalone. |
| Can an old attendance entry be overwritten? | No. Corrections append to the history and the original entry stays visible — enforced at the database layer. | The vendor describes audit logs and audit readiness. Ask to edit yesterday’s entry in a demo and watch what the record preserves. |
| What covers protected health information? | A HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with every center. | The vendor states HIPAA compliance with a BAA available. Review the agreement and offboarding terms before signing. |

Flat price vs per-participant price
The structural difference matters more than any single number: one price stays flat as your census grows, the other grows with it.

| Members | Adult Day Genie Daycare Plan | One Care Portal at $5.99/participant |
|---|---|---|
| 40 | $299 | $239.60 |
| 60 | $299 | $359.40 |
| 100 | $299 | $599 |
| 130 | $449 | $778.70 |
Both columns use each vendor’s published rates as of August 2026 and exclude per-claim billing fees ($1.50 per submitted claim vs 1% of billed amount). Below roughly 50 members, per-participant pricing can be cheaper — run your own numbers.
Which one fits your organization?
An honest comparison names the cases where the other product wins. Use whichever list describes your organization.
Adult Day Genie tends to fit when…
- You run one or more adult day centers and nothing else.
- Front-desk and floor staff — not case managers — operate the daily screen.
- You want a flat, published monthly price that does not climb with every enrollment.
- Attendance you can defend is the record you get asked for most.
One Care Portal may fit better when…
- Adult day is one line of business next to case management, IDD, or supportive housing.
- You want one vendor across several HCBS service lines.
- You need a standalone billing module with denial management and 835 ERA posting.
- Per-participant pricing works at your census and claim volume.
Whichever you pick, run the correction test.
Ask each vendor to edit yesterday’s attendance entry in the live product, then look at what the record preserves. Adult Day Genie appends the correction and keeps the original visible; database rules block updates and deletes on attendance history.

Adult Day Genie vs One Care Portal questions
What is the main difference between Adult Day Genie and One Care Portal?
Focus. Adult Day Genie is built only for adult day centers. One Care Portal describes itself as a Medicaid HCBS platform serving case management agencies, IDD providers, supportive housing, and ADHC centers, with a standalone billing module. Both approaches are legitimate; the question is whether you want a specialist or a suite.
Which costs less for an adult day center?
It depends on census. Adult Day Genie publishes flat plans: $99/month for Attendance and $299/month for the Daycare Plan up to 100 members. One Care Portal publishes $5.99 per active participant per month plus $1.50 per submitted claim, so its cost scales with enrollment and claims. At 100 members, the published care-management price alone is roughly double Adult Day Genie’s flat plan. Model both at your real census and confirm current rates with each vendor.
Does either platform handle EVV for adult day?
Federal EVV applies to Medicaid personal care and home health services requiring an in-home visit, not center-based adult day services. Adult Day Genie provides EVV-grade attendance verification for the building without claiming a mandate that does not apply. Ask any vendor to make the same distinction.
Where do these One Care Portal facts come from?
