2018 for the purpose of soliciting ongoing feed-
back from Medicaid stakeholders on guidance 
issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 
Services on May 16, 2018, regarding electronic 
visit verification; and
(B) communicate with such stakeholders 
regularly and throughout the implementation 
process in a clear and transparent manner to 
monitor beneficiary protections; 
(2) such stakeholders should include State Med-
icaid directors, beneficiaries, family caregivers, indi-
viduals and entities who provide personal care serv-
ices or home health care services, Medicaid managed 
care organizations, electronic visit verification ven-
dors, and other stakeholders, as determined by the 
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and 
(3) taking into account stakeholder input on the 
implementation of the electronic visit verification re-
quirement under the Medicaid program is vital in 
order to ensure that the Centers for Medicare & 
Medicaid Services is aware and able to mitigate any 
adverse outcomes with the implementation of this 
policy.
