The Utah Department of Health (DOH) is responsible for overseeing the Utah EVV program. Service providers are mandated to use the specified EVV system, unless they meet the criteria for an exception or waiver.
Service Types Covered by Utah's EVV Requirement
At present, the following services in Utah necessitate the usage of the EVV system:
- Personal Care Services (PCS)
- Home Health Aide (HHA) Services
- State Plan Home Health Services
