Your Schedule Changes. Your Mileage Tracker Keeps Up.
Home health schedules are chaotic. Cancellations, add-ons, reschedules—your day never goes as planned. This mileage tracker is built into your schedule, so it adapts automatically. No separate app. No manual logging. No lost money.
This month's savings
December 2024Last year, my accountant asked for my mileage records and I had nothing. I estimated and probably lost out on thousands of dollars. This year will be different. I told my husband we needed something that would save every trip, every mile, even when my schedule falls apart mid-day—which it always does.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this mileage tracker for?
Schedule Companion is designed for home health practicioners—OTs, PTs, SLPs, nurses—and small agencies that need accurate, automatic mileage tracking tied to real visits. It's not a generic driving tracker or fleet tool—it's built specifically for home health workflows.
How does this work with my existing EMR or billing system?
It doesn't replace anything—it fits in. Export your mileage report as PDF, Excel, or plain text and put it wherever you need it. We're not trying to be your EMR, your billing software, or your accounting system. Just the mileage tracker that actually works for home health.
What happens when I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
The mileage recalculates automatically based on what actually happened. If you cancel an appointment, it's removed from the mileage calculation. If you reschedule, the new route is calculated. Your mileage report always reflects your real day, not your planned day.
Does it track my location in the background?
No. We respect your privacy. Mileage is calculated based on the addresses you enter for appointments, not live GPS tracking. We're not monitoring where you actually drive—we're calculating the driving distance between the appointments you verify.
Is this accurate enough for tax purposes?
Yes. The IRS requires a contemporaneous log showing date, business purpose, destination, and mileage. Because mileage is tied to your verified appointments (which already have dates, addresses, and patient names/pseudonyms), you have everything needed for substantiation. Always consult your tax professional for specific advice.
Do I have to use the IRS reimbursement rate?
No. The IRS standard mileage rate is the default, but you can enter your company's specific reimbursement rate to estimate what you'll actually receive. This is especially useful if your agency reimburses at a different rate than the IRS standard deduction.
