CenterLight Healthcare PACE has partnered with HHAeXchange to leverage our platform to implement Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) for Personal Care Services.
Through the HHAeXchange platform you will be able to receive new home health aide cases, manage authorizations, confirm visits, and communicate certain types of issues in real-time.
In addition, the HHAeXchange platform offers a robust agency management solution that can help streamline and automate time-consuming agency functions including placement, scheduling, compliance, and billing of services.
The HHAeXchange Portal provides a direct connection from the agency to CenterLight Healthcare PACE of New York for:
Agencies currently using another 3rd Party EVV Solution (Existing EDI Providers): Authorization data will become available in the HHAeXchange Portal, rather than coming by fax. Schedule and visit data will be imported from your 3rd party system into HHAeXchange. Please work with your EVV Vendor to determine requirements to set up this interface and refer to the EDI Process tab for more details. Providers will be going live with the linked CenterLight Healthcare PACE contract in Phase 1.
Phase 1:
Phase 3:
Agencies not currently using HHAeXchange (New Providers – EVV option of EDI or Free HHAX): You will receive an HHAeXchange Portal in order to receive authorizations and submit claims/invoice data. Please complete the Provider Portal Questionnaire Survey 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 own third party EVV system. Providers will be going live with the linked CenterLight Healthcare PACE contract in Phase 1.
Agencies currently using HHAeXchange (Existing Enterprise Providers): You will be able to continue using HHAeXchange, utilizing the system’s enhanced Linked Contract functionality. Providers will be implemented with the linked CenterLight Healthcare PACE NY contract in Phase 2 or Phase 3. Providers will receive a detailed welcome letter in advance, letting them know which phase they fall under along with the go-live date expectations.

EDI Overview (Integrating with a 3rd Party Agency Management System)
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 necessary to successfully integrate your Agency Management System with HHAeXchange.
HHAeXchange coordinates directly with CenterLight PACE 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 HHAeXchange, you will need to create the EDI files corresponding to the HHAeXchange specifications found in the following documentation (links below):
