ELECTRONIC VISIT VERIFICATION (EVV)

The 21st Century Cures Act mandates that states implement Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) for all Medicaid personal care services (PCS) and home health care services (HHCS) that require an in-home visit by a provider. EVV is required for state plan PCS and HHCS and certain PCS-like Home and Community Based Waiver Services (HCBS) specific to the frail elderly and physically disabled. This applies to PCS provided under sections 1905(a)(24), 1915(c), 1915(i), 1915(j), 1915(k) and Section 1115; and HHCS provider under 1905(a)(7) of the Social Security Act or a waiver.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has partnered with HHAeXchange to support EVV. This system is used to validate in-home visits for Medicaid recipients.

What Is EVV?

EVV uses technology to electronically record when a caregiver begins and ends in-home services with a Medicaid member. These systems require a device, such as a smartphone, GPS-enabled tablet, or landline, to collect the caregivers’ start and end times.

Federal law requires that providers use the EVV system to document the following information:

  • Date of service
  • Location of service
  • Individual providing service
  • Type of service
  • Individual receiving service
  • Time the service begins and ends

We have prepared resources to help you successfully document your visits.
