Electronic Visit Verification

It is an electronic system that verifies when the Caregiver visits occur and documents the precise time services begin and end.  Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act requires all states to implement the use of EVV for the Medicaid-funded personal care services (PCS), including respite services, for in-home and community visits by a provider.

EVV Captures:

Which agency employee provided the service
The time and date that a visit began and ended
The individual who received the service
The tasks that were completed during the visit
The location of service delivery.

How Can EVV Help?

EVV can help improve quality of care by making caregiver activities transparent and measurable. Also, EVV reduces the likelihood for error or fraud by identifying the client, recording the individual caregiver’s location and clock-in and clock-out times, and services provided. No need for paper anymore! There is also a less likelihood for error with the ability to clock-in and clock out seamlessly.
