Starting on April 3rd, 2023 Florida Community Care Providers are required to use HHAeXchange to submit confirmed visits and bill directly through the free HHAeXchange Portal.
As of December 1, 2018, Humana and Sunshine Health, Children’s Medical Services, Molina Healthcare (the “MCOs”) require providers to use HHAeXchange to submit confirmed visits and bill directly to each MCO through the free HHAeXchange Portal.
The first step in effectively working with the MCOs is to fill out the Florida SMMC Provider Portal Configuration Questionnaire for your organization. The answers from your questionnaire will allow HHAeXchange to configure your agency’s portal. Please note that you only need to fill out the questionnaire once, regardless of how many MCOs you are contracted with.
In accordance with the AHCA reporting requirement, please report any technical difficulties to HHAeXchange and our partner MCOs—Florida Community Care, Humana, Molina Healthcare, and Sunshine Health—by completing this form.
Option 1, Free HHAeXchange EVV: Our agency wants to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system, provided by the MCOs. Great! If you’ve indicated that you’d like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system, the contact person listed on your questionnaire will receive more information in the coming weeks on how to set up your agency’s 800 numbers, upload caregivers into the HHAeXchange Portal, and begin processing EVV and claims.
Option 2, Use my Current EVV System: Our agency has an existing EVV system that we’d like to keep. It’s simple to connect your existing EVV system to the MCOs through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the questionnaire, and the HHAeXchange Integrations Team – [email protected] – will coordinate with you to create an interface to process your existing EVV visits and claims.
Agencies currently using HHAeXchange Enterprise: You currently pay for the HHAeXchange Full Enterprise platform. With Florida Community Care, you will be able to continue using HHAeXchange.
Agencies currently using HHAeXchange’ s Free EVV tools: You had a free HHAeXchange portal created through completing an enrollment questionnaire for a previous implementation. You will be able to continue using HHAeXchange, utilizing the system’s linked contract functionality.
Agencies currently using another 3rd Party EVV Solution (Existing EDI Providers): You had a free HHAeXchange portal created through completing an enrollment questionnaire for a previous implementation. Schedule and visit data will be imported from your 3rd party system into HHAeXchange to be billed to Florida Community Care. Please work with your EVV Vendor to determine requirements to set up this interface and refer to the EDI Process tab for more details.
Agencies not currently using HHAeXchange: You will receive a free HHAeXchange Portal as part of this Implementation. Please complete the Provider Portal Questionnaire Form to ensure our team can create your unique credentials for access. Providers will have the choice to either use the free HHAeXchange EVV tools or select to integrate with their existing third party EVV system.
The Information Sessions for the Florida Community Care Implementation were held for all in scope providers to share key details regarding this implementation, including workflow changes, system benefits, and next steps.

Thank you for your participation in working with HHAeXchange on the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) project for your agency. Below you will find information about the general requirements and steps to take to successfully integrate your Agency Management System with HHAeXchange.
HHAeXchange coordinates directly with the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to ensure members and, if desired, authorizations are passed directly into the HHAeXchange system. Once this data is in the HHAeXchange system, a unique member key is created which HHAeXchange will pass to your Agency Management System to ensure seamless processing of member information between the systems. HHAeXchange will also give you a unique Provider Agency ID to include in all files used in the EDI processes.
In order to integrate between your Agency Management System and the HHAeXchange, you will need to create the EDI files corresponding to the HHAeXchange specifications found in the following documentation (links below):

Great! If you’d like to use HHAeXchange’s Free EVV system ensure that you’ve completed the HHAeXchange Portal Configuration Questionnaire. The contact person listed in your response will be contacted by HHAeXchange to set up your agency for EVV.
What if we have an EVV System that we’d like to keep?
It’s simple to connect your existing EVV system to the MCOs through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the HHAeXchange Portal Configuration Questionnaire, and the HHAeXchange Integrations Team will coordinate with you to create an interface to process your existing EVV visits and claims. EDI Process Guides can be found in the EDI Process tab, above.
What information will the MCOs send to my agency through the HHAeXchange Portal?
The MCOs will send placements, authorizations, plan of care, and all communication through the HHAeXchange Portal. MCOs may send additional information as they deem necessary.
How will my agency bill to the MCOs?
All claims will be created through the HHAeXchange Portal and sent electronically via an 837 eBilling file. Agencies will then receive an 835 eRemittance file back into the HHAeXchange Portal.
Can I check my claims before submitting them to each MCO?
Yes. The HHAeXchange Portal provides a Pre-billing Claims Scrubbing module designed to ensure that your claims are compliant with the authorization and MCO contract.
Will I need a separate Portal for each MCO?
No. You’ll only need one Portal to connect to Humana, Staywell, and Sunshine Health for placements, authorizations, communication, and billing.
Can I schedule my caregivers through the HHAeXchange Portal?
Yes. You’ll be able to schedule your caregivers through the HHAeXchange Portal either by creating schedules based on the authorization provided by the MCO, or through automatic creation of schedules based on EVV data imported into the HHAeXchange Portal from your 3rd party EVV system.
How will I be trained on the HHAeXchange Portal?
