EVV and Claims Billing for Arkansas’s State Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)

Starting on June 1, 2019, Arkansas Total Care will require providers to use HHAeXchange to submit confirmed visits and bill directly through the free HHAeXchange Portal. 

The first step in effectively working with the MCO is to fill out the following questionnaire for your organization. The answers from your questionnaire will allow HHAeXchange to configure your agency’s portal.

What are the key benefits of the HHAeXchange Portal to homecare agencies?

  • FREE Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) tools
  • Open Model EDI Integration with 3rd Party EVV Vendors
  • Real-time, two-way messaging with each MCO
  • Receive recipient demographics, authorizations, and plan of care electronically
  • Pre-bill scrubbing to ensure clean claims and accelerate revenue cycle

 

Your Agency’s Billing Options

Option 1, Free HHAeXchange EVV: Our agency wants to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system, provided by the MCO. 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 MCO through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the questionnaire, and the HHAeXchange EDI Integrations Team – edisupport@hhaexchange.com – will coordinate with you to create an interface to process your existing EVV visits and claims.
