What is EVV?
Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) System is a federal requirement mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act. EVV is required for all Medicaid funded personal care services and home health services. EVV is technology that automates the gathering of service information by data at the point of care. EVV helps to reduce the occurrence of fraud in home care delivery by removing the elements most closely associated with improper record keeping including paper timesheets and manual billing.
At a minimum, EVV electronically verifies the:
1. The type of service provided
2. The name of the individual receiving service
3. The date of service delivery.
4. The location of service delivery
5. The name of the individual providing the service.
6. The time the service begins and ends
Alabama Medicaid Provider Choice Model
Alabama Medicaid operates the Provider Choice Model. Provider Choice Model means a provider must use an EVV system of choice, so long as it meets the requirements identified by Alabama Medicaid. Providers are required to send EVV data to Alabama Medicaid’s EVV aggregator.
