# Amedisys

> Amedisys, Inc. is a United States home health, hospice, palliative and high-acuity
> in-home care company headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It delivers skilled
> nursing, rehabilitation therapy, hospice and palliative services through a nationwide
> network of care centers, and — through Contessa, an Amedisys company — hospital-level
> and skilled-nursing-level care delivered in the patient's home in partnership with
> health systems and payers. Formerly listed on Nasdaq as AMED, Amedisys was acquired by
> UnitedHealth Group's Optum in a $3.3 billion all-cash transaction that closed in August
> 2025 following a Department of Justice settlement requiring the divestiture of 164 home
> health and hospice locations. It continues to operate under the Amedisys brand.

## What an agent should know first

- **Amedisys publishes no API.** There is no developer portal, no API reference, no
  OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL/gRPC/SOAP contract, no SDK on any package registry, no MCP
  server and no A2A agent card. Amedisys is a care-delivery organization; its product is
  clinical care in the home, not software.
- Health information moves between Amedisys and its referral sources, EHR vendors and
  payers under HIPAA business-associate agreements and bilateral integration contracts,
  not through a public interface. None of that surface is documented publicly.
- Two hosts that earlier versions of this profile named — `developer.amedisys.com` and
  `api.amedisys.com` — do not exist. They have no DNS record and never returned a
  response. Do not attempt to call them.
- Referrals and patient orders are handled through the pages below and by phone/fax to
  local care centers, not programmatically.
