Employment Types
Employment Type, Discipline, or Accepted Service (on the Member’s side) refers 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 Member receives proper service.
The Employment Type is a required field when creating a New Caregiver (discussed later in this document).
