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 your contracted MCO 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):

Free tools
How will the free HHAeXchange EVV System work?
Through the HHAeXchange Portal, your MCO is offering free telephony for clock-in and clock-out functionality, including capturing completed plan of care duties. Each agency who has indicated they would like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system will be set up with a toll-free 800 number to provide to their caregivers.
What if we would like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV System?
Great! If you’ve indicated that you’d like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system, the contact person listed on your survey 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.
What if we have an EVV System that we would like to keep?
It is simple to connect your existing EVV system to your contracted MCO through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the survey, and the HHAeXchange Integrations Team – [email protected] – will coordinate with you to create an interface to process your existing EVV visits and claims.
What information will my contracted MCO send to my agency through the HHAeXchange Portal?
They will be sending new placements, authorizations, and all communication through the HHAeXchange Portal. Your MCO may send additional information as they deem necessary.
How will the HHAeXchange Portal bill to the contracted MCO?
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 contracted MCO?
Yes. The HHAeXchange Portal provides a Prebilling Claims Scrubbing module designed to ensure that your claims are compliant with the authorization and the MCO contract.
Will I need a separate Portal for each contracted MCO?
No. You will only need one Portal to connect to all MCO(s) 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 contracted 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?
The person within your organization that filled out the survey will receive more information to identify super users and for training planning.
Can I Import and Export data into the HHAeXchange Portal?
Processes for importing and exporting data from the HHAeXchange Portal can be found on the EDI tab.
All providers can use our Client Support Portal to find answers to questions and create support requests.
