Electronic Visit Verification for Medi-Cal Personal Care Services
Requires the Agency, whenever it provides Medi-Cal personal care services, to register in California's Electronic Visit Verification system (or a certified alternate system), to have aides record every such visit electronically with the six data elements federal law requires, and to correct and document exceptions before billing.

In short
- For Medi-Cal personal care visits, check in and check out in EVV at the client's home.
- EVV records the service, the client, the date, the place, the aide and the start and end times.
- Never check in or out for someone else or share your login.
- If EVV does not work, call the office from the visit and fill in a paper record.
- Every manual correction needs a reason and a supervisor's approval.
