Electronic Visit Verification Solution for the Mississippi Division of Medicaid (MS DOM)

Mississippi’s Division of Medicaid (MS DOM) has partnered with FEI systems and HHAeXchange (HHAX) to help MS DOM homecare providers remain compliant with state and federal Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) laws, and ensure a simplified, user-friendly, and seamless experience.

Navigating HHAeXchange for EVV Success On-Site Event

Complimentary afternoon sessions providing an opportunity to learn more about features and functionality within the HHAeXchange state-sponsored EVV portal were held beginning January 29, 2023, and have concluded. Topics covered included authorization integration, billing, updated user interface, and helping your caregivers use the mobile app.

 

Please note, Onboarding for State Plan Private Duty Nursing, Personal Care, and Home Health Providers is now underway.

Please review Mississippi’s DOM Phase II Kick Off Letter for an introduction to this implementation in partnership with FEI Systems and HHAeXchange.

State Plan Personal Care and Private Duty Nursing, and Home Health Providers: As part of this agreement, Mississippi DOM providers will have access to the complimentary HHAeXchange EVV Portal beginning December 11, 2023.

Waiver Providers: The complimentary HHAeXchange Portal went live in August 1, 2023.

The first step for all providers will be to fill out the Mississippi Medicaid – HHAeXchange EVV Provider Set Up Form to identify yourself as a provider in-scope for this implementation.

Selecting an EVV Solution for your Provider Agency

The EVV Provider Portal Set Up Form is designed to capture information about your provider agency necessary for MS DOM and HHAeXchange as part of the effort to implement collecting and reporting EVV compliant data.

As part of your participation, you have two options to ensure EVV compliance:

  • Option 1 [agencies currently without an EVV solution]: Sign up to use the complimentary HHAeXchange EVV Portal for services.
  • Option 2  [agencies currently using another 3rd Party EVV solution]: Continue to use your existing EVV system and import visit data into HHAeXchange using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Please review the EDI Process Tab for additional information on our EDI Process.
    • For Mississippi’s Division of Medicaid Waiver Providers who have selected this option please review your MS EDI DOM Welcome Packet
