Pennsylvania MCO EVV Aggregation Most Common Failed Responses
The tables below contain the most common failed responsesfound in the PA MCO EVV Aggregator interface, and the recommended actions to take for successfully addressing those responses in the HHAeXchange system.

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. Record updates with a Success or Failed status when the Aggregator completes processing the record. No further action is required. |
Failed | The record failed to import into the Aggregator. Action 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 between 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 persists after 48 hours, contact HHAeXchange via Client Support Portal, select EVV Aggregation Support and include a copy of the State Aggregation Report.
- Refer to Client Support Portal for instructions on how to create and submit a request.
