Evercare 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 Evercare 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 Evercare contract in Phase 1.
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 Evercare 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 Evercare contract in Phase 2.
Phase 1 Go-Live Date: May 24th, 2021

How will the free HHAeXchange EVV system work?
Through the HHAeXchange Portal, Evercare is offering free telephony for clock-in and clock-out functionality, including capturing completed plan of care duties. Each agency that 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 Evercare through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the survey, and the HHAeXchange Integrations Team will coordinate with you to create an interface to process your existing EVV visits and claims.
