Maine Common Failed Responses

The tables below contain the most common failed responses found in the Maine Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Aggregator interface, and the recommended actions to take to successfully address responses in HHAeXchange.

All Record Statuses
Response Description / Recommended Resolution

Success

The record successfully imported into the aggregator. No further action is required.

Pending

The record is pending in the aggregator. The record updates with a Success or Failed status when the Aggregator finishes processing the record. No further action is required.

Failed

The record failed to import into the aggregator. Action is required.

Items to consider in this process:

  • A single record can contain more than one failed response. Each failed response is separated by a pipe delimiter (|).

  • The Owner column indicates which entity is responsible for resolving the failed response.

  • Records in a Pending status can take 24-48 hours to process in the Aggregator Portal. When the aggregator finishes processing the record, HHAeXchange updates the record status to a Success or Failed response. If Pending status continues after 48 hours:

    1. Contact HHAeXchange through the Client Support Portal.

    2. Select Category: Data & Integration and Sub-Category: EVV Aggregation Support (EAS).

    3. Include a copy of the State Aggregation Report.

Refer to the Client Support Portal topic for instructions on how to create and submit a request.
