Electronic Visit Verification System for Medicaid In-Home Services
All States were required to implement an electronic visit verification (EVV) system for personal care services (PCS) by January 1, 2020, and for home health services by January 1, 2023. CMS granted the vast majority of States a 1-year extension (to January 1, 2021) for meeting EVV requirements for PCS. EVV was developed to address weaknesses in PCS that contribute to improper payments, questionable quality of care, and significant fraud. Our objectives will be to determine whether selected States: (1) implemented an EVV system according to Federal and State requirements, and (2) complied with Federal and State requirements when claiming Medicaid in home PCS.
