We have updated the Minnesota EVV Technical Specifications to clarify how Residing (Live‑In) Caregiver functionality works within HHAeXchange.

  • Providers using a third‑party EVV system do not need to configure caregivers as Residing (Live‑In) in the HHAeXchange Patient Profile if their vendor can send the ResidingCaregiver = Yes value via the API.

  • The ResidingCaregiver indicator can be sent at the visit level, and HHAeXchange will use this inbound value to determine Residing Caregiver status for the visit.

  • Patient‑level configuration in HHAeXchange is only required if the third‑party EVV system cannot transmit or flag Residing Caregiver visits through the API payload.
