Claim: Electronic visit verification (EVV), a method to verify home healthcare visits, has been made mandatory for home care agencies that provide personal care services beginning January 1, 2020.
Evidence: Electronic visit verification (EVV) is a method used to verify home healthcare visits to ensure patients are not neglected and to cut down on fraudulently documented home visits. Beginning January 1, 2020, home care agencies that provide personal care services must have an EVV solution in place or risk having their Medicaid claims denied, under a mandate included in the 21st Century Cures Act.
