No API. Third-party EVV vendors integrate through SFTP folders with manually exchanged SSH keys, gated by integration agreements. Each state (Tennessee, Iowa, and others) has its own testing and onboarding process guide.
Frequently asked questions
CareBridge scores F on the API Report Card. No API. Third-party EVV vendors integrate through SFTP folders with manually exchanged SSH keys, gated by integration agreements. Each state (Tennessee, Iowa, and others) has its own testing and onboarding process guide.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
CareBridge is a home- and community-based services (HCBS) / long-term support services (LTSS) care-management platform. It provides electronic visit verification (EVV), data aggregation, 24/7 member support, and benefit management for people with chronic and complex conditions.
Healthcare / EVV & LTSS, Typically for Medicaid MCOs, state Medicaid agencies, and home-care provider agencies delivering long-term support services. Provider agencies and their caregivers log home-care visits (EVV) which CareBridge aggregates, validates against MCO/state data, and uses to generate pre-billing validation and claims.
Operates in 17 states + DC, ~500 employees, ~115,000 patients served. Acquired by Elevance Health (Carelon) in a deal reported at ~$2.7B (2024); sole EVV vendor for all Iowa MCOs and Wyoming's state-sponsored EVV.
Yes, Holds verified home-care visit records (EVV), member/patient data, benefit and authorization data, and pre-billing/claims data. This is the system-of-record data provider agencies depend on for Medicaid reimbursement and Cures Act compliance.
~7 years old, founded 2019 (Brad Smith, Bill Frist), formed partly via acquisition of HealthStar and Sinq Technologies. Modern care-management stack but data exchange remains legacy file-based (SFTP/HL7/flat files).
Integration is file-based SFTP with manual SSH-key provisioning, no REST/GraphQL API. Separate per-state integration testing processes required (e.g., TN, IA). Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include HHAeXchange, Sandata Technologies, Tellus (Netsmart), Therap Services. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial CareBridge API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write CareBridge data. See the CareBridge integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/carebridge-api.
