Beginning Wednesday, November 1, 2023, Carolina Complete Health will allow Providers to edit rates in HHAeXchange. All claims billed to Carolina Complete Health will be billed at the current rate set by the health plan, and claims are paid according to your contracted rate with Carolina Complete Health. If the rate in HHAeXchange does not match your contracted rate, then you can manually update the rate. Refer to the Rate Management Job Aid for instructions and details.
Moving forward, your Agency is responsible for managing the rate (including any contractual updates) if the rate is updated.
**If additional offices are linked with Carolina Complete Health in the future, rates will default to $0 and must be updated by your agency prior to billing.
Note: EDI Providers must coordinate with their EVV Vendor to ensure rates are being sent. Once confirmed, open a ticket with EDI Support to request your configurations be updated.
For further information concerning the contents of this notification, please open a ticket with HHAeXchange Customer Support.
Please Note: Claims including Home Health (HH) services and supplies must be split. HH services must be billed through EVV, while HH supplies should be billed directly to Carolina Complete Health. If providers submit a claim including HH services and supplies, the claim will deny.
