How EVV works in Florida

Which aggregator depends on the payer

Florida agencies answer to more than one EVV aggregator, depending on who pays for the visit. The software captures each visit once and routes it, so caregivers never clock twice.

HHAeXchange

Used for: AHCA FFS, since Oct 2024. First Support's HHAeXchange connector is built to the published specification; certification in Florida is completed with your agency as sponsor.

Plan-designated

Used for: HHAeXchange, Netsmart, others. First Support's HHAeXchange connector is built to the published specification; certification in Florida is completed with your agency as sponsor.

What the state requires

HHAeXchange EDI integration for FFS; each managed care plan sets its own EVV vendor/aggregator — check plan contracts. Sunshine Health denies unconfirmed EVV claims since Jan 30 2025.

Getting started

Your first month in Florida

Sponsor and credentialsYour agency is the sponsoring provider: one attestation to the state and one to the aggregator, and the aggregator issues test credentials. We prepare both with you.
Configure from the presetFinance → EVV aggregators: the state's preset fills qualifiers, reason codes and config from the published addendum; the issued ids and credentials go on top. The account says Ready when nothing is missing.
CertifyWe run the aggregator's test cases against their test environment with your test patients, fix anything they flag, and ask for their review. Then production credentials.
Go liveFlip the account to production and turn the worker on. From then on every closed Medicaid visit is queued at clock-out and reaches the aggregator within minutes, with its verdict read back.
