Understanding Vermont's EVV Requirements
Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a federally mandated initiative that validates all Medicaid-funded personal care and home health services through an electronic system. The Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living (DAIL) is tasked with the oversight of the Vermont EVV program. Service providers are required to utilize the designated EVV system, unless they meet specific criteria for an exception or waiver.
Service Types Covered by Vermont's EVV Requirement
Presently, the services in Vermont that mandate the use of EVV are listed as follows:
- Personal Care Services (PCS)
- Home Health Care
- Respite Care
- Adult Day Care Services
- Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)
- Private Duty Nursing (PDN) Services
Please note that these are general categories, and the exact services subject to EVV may depend on the specific Medicaid program and policies within Vermont. For precise and up-to-date information and services covered by Vermont’s EVV requirements, it’s advisable to contact the Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living (DAIL).
