The 21st Century Cures Act deadline to implement electronic visit verification (EVV) for personal care services is January 1, 2020, this means that homecare agencies must figure out plans to implement EEV solutions now, or face reductions to federal Medicaid assistance. The deadline for home health services is 2023.
The EVV requirements, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, does not mandate the use of any particular kind of system, only that the system “be able to electronically verify, with respect to visits conducted as part of personal care services or home healthcare services”: the type of service performed; who received the service; who provided the service; and when and where the service took place, including start and end times.
