Employment Types

Employment Type (for Skilled and Non-Skilled Caregivers) identifies all the service disciplines that have been assigned to a Caregiver.

Employment Type, Discipline, or Accepted Service (on the Patient’s side) all refer to the type of service a Caregiver is authorized to provide in HHAeXchange. The Caregiver’s Employment Type is a scheduling criterion used in Authorizations to ensure that a Patient receives proper service.

The Employment Type is a required field when creating a New Caregiver (discussed in another topic). A Caregiver who does not match the Discipline specified in an Authorization cannot be scheduled, unless it is a Skilled Caregiver being scheduled for a Non-Skilled visit. Selecting one or more of the values in this field indicates that the Caregiver is certified to work in that capacity.
