To ensure that the Provider community complies with the Cures Act Mandate, New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS), Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) is requiring that all Providers, including New Jersey Children’s System of Care (CSOC) to be fully integrated by October 1, 2021.
The HHAeXchange solution will focus on collecting and reporting EVV compliant data for all personal care services (PCS) for the New Jersey Children’s System of Care (CSOC). As part of the New Jersey Family Care EVV program initiative, we will need to gather more information from your provider agency.
The first step will be to fill out the Provider Enrollment Form listed below as you are identifying yourself as a CSOC provider: CSOC Provider Enrollment Form

What are the benefits of the HHAeXchange Portal?
Ease of billing
Efficient communication
Free tools
What if we would like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV System?
Through the HHAeXchange Portal, New Jersey CSOC is offering free telephony for clock-in and clock-out functionality, including capturing completed plan of care duties. Each agency who has indicated they’d like to use HHAeXchange’s free EVV system will be set up with a toll-free 800 number to provide to their caregivers. A caregiver will also be given the option to download the free HHAeXchange Mobile App available for both iPhone and Android users that can be used to clock-in and clock-out, review patient information and visit information.
How will the free HHAeXchange EVV System work?
What if we have an EVV System that we’d like to keep?
It is simple to connect your existing EVV system with your payer(s), through the HHAeXchange Portal. Ensure that you’ve completed the survey, and review the EDI welcome packet. Upon reviewing the welcome packet, please submit a ticket to the HHAX EDI support email at: [email protected] with the subject ‘NJ EVV’. The HHAeXchange Integrations Team will coordinate with you to create an interface to process for your existing EVV visits. If my payer(s) plans to utilize or is currently utilizing the HHAeXchange portal, what information will my payer(s) send to my agency through the HHAeXchange Portal? Your payer(s) will be sending new placements, authorizations, and all communications through the HHAeXchange Portal. Additional information may be sent as deemed necessary by the payer.
How will the HHAeXchange Portal bill payer(s)?
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 the payer through the HHAeXchange portal?
Yes. The HHAeXchange Portal provides a Prebilling Claims Scrubbing module designed to ensure that your claims are compliant with the authorization and the payer contract.
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 payer, 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 this page under the “EDI PROCESS” tab.
