Home health ops · HCBS / EVV network platform
HHAeXchange
HHAeXchange connects homecare providers, payers, and caregivers for scheduling, EVV, visit confirmation, and Medicaid HCBS program integrity. It is a network platform, not a closed clinical agency EMR alone.
Strong fit
- Medicaid home and community care providers and managed care plans that are part of HHAeXchange networks
- Agencies that need electronic visit verification, shift management, and payer connections together
- Programs that track confirmed visits, compliance, and how fast payments arrive
Weak fit
- Medicare-only skilled home health agencies outside HHAeXchange payer networks
- Buyers looking for a top clinical EMR with no tie to Medicaid visit verification
- Organizations that will not work inside a network connected to payers
Bottom line
HHAeXchange is worth using for home care providers and payers tied to Medicaid home and community-based services networks that run on it. It suits agencies whose states and plans use the network. Agencies outside those networks that want a full clinical EMR may prefer Alora or KanTime.

HHAeXchange connects home care providers, payers, and caregivers in home and community-based services. It handles scheduling, electronic visit verification, visit confirmation, and program integrity.
Many agencies come to it because their Medicaid plans and states use the network for compliance and visit confirmation.
Its strength is that network more than its use as a clinical EMR. That makes it a different purchase from an agency EMR such as Alora or KanTime.
Results show up in more confirmed visits and cleaner payments. Setup gets harder when an agency's payers and states are outside the network, and pricing is not published.
It scores below the leading agency EMRs. Its network is valuable, but it is weaker as a standalone EMR, and its pricing outside those networks is unclear.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Network access and software for providers, payers, and state programs, with quoted prices. |
| What usually drives cost | Whether you are a provider or payer, which state programs are included, visit volume, and mobile tools for caregivers. |
| What to ask before you buy | Whether your Medicaid plans and states require or prefer HHAeXchange, and the full cost at your visit volume. |
| Published pricing | HHAeXchange does not publish prices. Being in the network often drives the decision as much as the license cost. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get HHAeXchange to function | |
| Confirmation that your Medicaid payers or states use the network | Outside those networks, it may be the wrong purchase. |
| Provider enrollment and caregiver list ready for visit verification | Incomplete lists block visit confirmation. |
| An operations owner for shifts and problem visits | Work with no owner leads to denials. |
| A clear plan to get caregivers using the mobile app | Paper timesheets break network compliance. |
| Billing matched to managed care plan payment cycles | Confirming visits without following through on billing wastes the network. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Measure confirmed visits and how fast payments arrive | Network value shows in those numbers. |
| Work through problem visits every day at launch | Old problem visits become lost payments. |
| Match exports from your agency EMR if you keep a separate clinical system | Double entry creates mismatches. |
| Train caregivers to clock in and out every time | A missed clock-in is a compliance problem. |
| Review payer performance reports with your managed care plans | Network problems nobody raises get worse. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| Your payers and states do not use HHAeXchange. | |
| You only want a clinical EMR and do not need network visit verification. | |
| Caregivers cannot use the mobile tools. | |
| No one will work through problem visits. | |
| You are a Medicare-only skilled home health agency with no need for a home and community care network. | |
Value creation time frame
| # | Stage | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From signing to kickoff | 2-8 weeks to confirm payers and networks, enroll, and load the caregiver list |
| 2 | From kickoff to first use | 4-12 weeks until the first programs confirm visits |
| 3 | From first use to steady results | 2-5 months before problem visits and payments feel routine |
