Navigating New Jersey's EVV Requirements
New Jersey Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a system used to verify certain types of home health and personal care services. In New Jersey, it’s required for Medicaid-reimbursed services. The implementation of EVV is aimed at enhancing the quality of life of people needing home-based support, by ensuring they receive timely and appropriate care.
Service Types Covered by New Jersey's EVV Requirements
The types of services that require use of EVV in New Jersey include:
- Personal Care Services (PCS) delivered by an agency
- Respite Care
- Home Health Aide (HHA) Services
- State Plan Home Health Services
- Private Duty Nursing (PDN) Services
- Adult Day Health Services
- Community-Based Specialist
Please note that these are general categories, and the exact services subject to EVV may depend on the specific Medicaid program and policies within Ohio. For precise and up-to-date information and services covered by New Jersey’s EVV requirements, it’s advisable to contact the New Jersey Department of Human Services website.
Eligible Exceptions and Waivers
In New Jersey, there are specific circumstances where a provider might be eligible for an exception or waiver from using the EVV system. This includes:
- Services provided in remote areas with limited access to internet or cellular service
- Services provided by a caregiver who is under 18 years old
- Services provided through telemonitoring or telemedicine
For these exceptions or waivers, providers must submit a request through the New Jersey Department of Human Services website and receive approval before they are exempt from using the EVV system.
Frequently Asked Questions
EVV, or Electronic Visit Verification, is a technology-based system that verifies when and where home health care services are provided.
New Jersey EVV is required under the 21st Century Cures Act to provide accurate and timely data on the delivery of Medicaid-funded personal care and home health services.
The deadline for compliance with EVV in New Jersey varies based on the specific type of service being provided. For most services, compliance became mandatory from January 1, 2021. However, it’s crucial for providers to confirm specific deadlines and expectations with their individual Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). Please note, any delays in compliance may affect payment for services rendered. We advise staying updated with the latest information through the New Jersey Department of Human Services’ EVV webpage.
Failure to comply can result in penalties such as reduced reimbursement rates, termination of Medicaid provider status, and denial of payment for services.
For more information, visit the New Jersey Department of Human Services website or contact your Managed Care Organization (MCO).
