Home care software for Texas Medicaid EVV.

Texas routes EVV by payer: TMHP EVV Aggregator (state); HHAeXchange (state-provided vendor). First Support Homecare captures every Medicaid visit once, with GPS clock-in and clock-out, and sends it to the aggregator each payer uses where a connector is built.

Web-based, nothing to install. Hosted on AWS under a Business Associate Agreement. Security & HIPAA
Where this standsStatus in Texas: Texas accepts outside EVV software only through TMHP's Proprietary System Operator (PSO) program. First Support Homecare is not an approved PSO yet; the application is filed with the first Texas agency. Until then, caregivers use the state-provided HHAeXchange system and First Support runs scheduling, caregivers and billing.
How EVV works in Texas

Which aggregator depends on the payer

Texas 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.

TMHP EVV Aggregator

Used for: state. First Support has no connector for this system yet - ask on the call where it stands.

HHAeXchange

Used for: state-provided vendor. First Support has no connector for this system yet - ask on the call where it stands.

What the state requires

Formal PSO approval: agency files EVV Proprietary System Request Form; Standard Path (new system) or Expedited Path (already-approved system); must meet HHSC Business Rules for Proprietary Systems; onboarding runs on TMHP's published schedule. 80% compliance threshold enforced.

Getting started

Your first month in Texas

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.

Questions Texas agencies ask

Which EVV system does Texas use?

TMHP EVV Aggregator (state); HHAeXchange (state-provided vendor).

Can First Support Homecare send our Texas EVV visits?

PSO approval not yet obtained. Texas accepts outside EVV software only through TMHP's Proprietary System Operator (PSO) program.

Until then, caregivers use the state-provided HHAeXchange system and First Support runs scheduling, caregivers and billing.

Which Texas services need EVV?

PCS, HHCS, CDS, many LTC waivers (EVV Policy Handbook). Every Medicaid personal care and home health visit falls under the 21st Century Cures Act EVV rule.

What does the rest of the software do?

Scheduling, caregiver onboarding and credentials, visit notes, payroll exports and Medicaid claims - one system for the agency, whichever EVV route the state uses.
