Electronic Visit Verification
Requires every Medical Assistance-funded personal assistance visit to be recorded in a Department of Human Services-accepted electronic visit verification system that captures the six federal data items, explains how direct care workers check in and out, how missed or incorrect entries are corrected and documented, and how EVV data is matched to claims.
