Georgia Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

In December 2016, Congress enacted the 21st Century Cures Act which requires states to implement Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) for Medicaid-financed Personal Care Services and Home Health Care Services by January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2023, respectively, to avoid a reduction in federal Medicaid funding. The Act contributes to Georgia Medicaid’s mission of providing access to affordable, quality health care services for Medicaid members.

EVV is a technology that automates the gathering of service information by capturing time, attendance and care plan information entered by a home care worker at the point of care. EVV gives providers, care coordinators, and DCH access to service delivery information in real-time to ensure there are no gaps in care throughout the entire course of the service plan. The technology helps to reduce the occurrence of fraud in-home care delivery by removing the elements most closely associated with improper record keeping including paper timesheets and manual billing.

At a minimum, EVV electronically verifies the:

  • Type of service performed
  • Individual receiving the service
  • Individual providing the service
  • Date the service was provided
  • Location of service delivery
  • Time the service begins and ends

Medicaid-funded Personal Support Services (PSS)/Community Living Supports (CLS) (CPT Codes T1019, T2025, and S9122) for the following waiver programs will be subject to EVV Program requirements:

  • Service Options Using Resources in a Community Environment (SOURCE)
  • Community Care Services Program (CCSP)
  • New Options Waiver (NOW)
  • Comprehensive Supports Waiver Program (COMP)
  • Independent Care Waiver Program (ICWP)
  • Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP)
