Verify your services
Verify your services
Using the EVV system helps verify your time for:
- Personal attendant services (PAS)
- Community First Choice (CFC) PAS and habilitation (HAB) services
- Personal care services (PCS)
- Private-duty nursing services
- In-home respite care
- Flexible family support services
The EVV system is easy to use and there is no cost to providers.
How does EVV work?
You can use a patient’s landline phone to call a toll-free number each time you start and finish services. If the patient doesn’t have a landline, your agency can install a device that records:
- Type of service provided
- Person receiving the service
- Date and time service delivery begins and ends
- Location of service delivery
- Person providing the service
- Other info necessary to ensure accuracy of Medicaid claims
