Why do we use EVV?
The EVV system helps us to prevent fraud. It helps verify time for services you may receive from a home care agency, such as:
- Personal attendant services
- Private-duty nursing services
- In-home respite care
- Flexible family support services
The EVV system is simple, cost free and won’t affect the services you receive.
How does EVV work?
How does EVV work?
Your home care provider uses your landline phone to call a toll-free number each time they start and finish services. This helps to ensure you get all the services you agreed on.
If you don’t have a landline, your home care agency can install a device that records:
- Type of service
- Person receiving the service
- Date and time service starts and ends
- Location of service
- Person providing the service
- Any other info needed to ensure proof of service
Is EVV required?
Yes, using EVV is required. All agencies providing home care services must use it.
