Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a computer-based system that electronically documents and verifies service delivery information for certain Medicaid service visits. It is used to verify home healthcare visits to ensure patients are not neglected and to cut down on fraudulently documented home visits. EVV helps prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, while making sure Medicaid recipients receive care that is authorized for them. The 21st Century Cures Act (Section 12006) is a federal law passed in 2016 requiring states to implement EVV for Medicaid personal care services. EVV is used to electronically verify that service visits occur and documents the date, time, service type, and location of service delivery. EVV is also used by employers to track employees and determine their compensation. Electronic visit verification software integrates with payroll systems that allow companies to verify payroll of its nurses. Many EVV software providers employ a cloud-based system that integrates with a mobile app to coordinate schedules, billing, payroll, communication, and patient documentation.
