What is Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)?

What is EVV?

In other words, what is Electronic Visit Verification? Good question.

First off, the EVV system for home care is truly unlike any other you will ever come across in recent technological advantages in Home Care. Electronic Visit Verification, takes communication and the quality of care to a whole new level. and that’s putting it lightly. Let’s take a closer look……

In a nutshell, EVV is one tool in home health care with multiple applications, respectively, and it’s a well-documented, fully-patented creation overall. It was started by a nurse with a spark of knowledge and a vision for further change, back in 1996, when the future of health care was truly beginning to take root.

Certain sections, by law, have been apportioned within the EVV as set aside by U.S. 2013 CURES Act. These mostly deal with Personal Care Services and Home Health Care Services, otherwise known as PCS and HHCS. Within these provisions, EVV becomes more of a legal mandate and less of a suggestion, and certain states must comply in order to not forfeit their standing, respectively.

EVV health care programs are all Medicaid funded and vary, in numerous terms, per state….according to the state that holds them. Also, it’s important to know that the EVV is somewhat of a modern tracking system, using the best technology there is. And as stated in its name, it uses no other form of verification rather than electronic.
