Mandated Electronic Visit Verification, or EVV, continues to be a hot topic in the home care industry. Originally rolled out as part of the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016, the federal law requires the use of an EVV tracking system for personal care services and home health care services that require an in-home visit by a care provider. Beginning on January 1 of this year, Most Medicaid-reimbursed home care providers were required to electronically verify the services they provide when making client visits with some type of mobile visit verification system. Most Medicare-certified home health providers have until January 1, 2023 to begin EVV, while some states are requiring home health to comply sooner. If you are unsure of the requirements, it is recommended you check with your state to verify compliance dates.
States that are not compliant with EVV guidelines run the risk of a reduction in Federal Medical Assistance Percentage funding, which will ultimately impact resources for state programs. EVV requires that providers are able to electronically verify the following during a personal care or home health care services visit and then relay the information to the state or the managed care organization that requires this data for compliance:
- Type of service performed
- Name of client receiving the service
- Date of service
- Location of service
- Name of individual providing the service
- Time that services begin and end
To accomplish this, home care agencies must either utilize a state-procured EVV tracking system or partner with a private home care software company, like Rosemark.
