For agencies that use 3rd party software:
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 to take to successfully integrate your Agency Management System with HHAeXchange.
HHAeXchange coordinates directly with VNSNY CHOICE to ensure members and 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 the HHAeXchange, you will need to create the EDI files corresponding to the HHAeXchange specifications. You can work with your 3rd party vendor directly and coordinate with HHAeXchange:

Ease of billing
Efficient communication
Free tools
Through the HHAeXchange Portal, VNSNY 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.
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.
No problem, we have a solution for you, too. If you choose this option, you’ll manually enter your visit data into the HHAeXchange Portal. Remember that the 21st Century CURES Act mandates that all homecare agencies use EVV by January 1, 2020, so this is will only be a temporary option to process your claims.
VNSNY Choice will be sending new placements, authorizations and all communication through the HHAeXchange Portal. VNSNY Choice may send additional information as they deem necessary.
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.
Yes. The HHAeXchange Portal provides a Prebilling Claims Scrubbing module designed to ensure that your claims are compliant with the authorization and the VNSNY Choice contract.
Yes. You’ll be able to schedule your caregivers through the HHAeXchange Portal either by creating schedules based on the authorization provided by VNSNY Choice, or through automatic creation of schedules based on EVV data imported into the HHAeXchange Portal from your 3rd party EVV system.
Processes for importing and exporting data from the HHAeXchange Portal can be found here: https://hhaexchange.com/vnsny-provider-site-edi-process/
