Employment Types
Employment Type, Discipline, or Accepted Service (on the Patient’s side) refers to the type of service a Caregiver is authorized to provide in HHAX. 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 they are a Skilled Caregiver being scheduled for a Non-Skilled visit. Selecting one or more of the values in the Employment Type field indicates that the Caregiver is certified to work in that capacity. The following is a comprehensive Employment Type list per Category (Skilled and Non-Skilled).
