Who & for whom
Direct care worker identity and which member/client received the service.
EVV orientation for PCA, HCBS, home health, and waiver providers
Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is used by many Medicaid and waiver programs to confirm that in-home services were delivered as billed. This page offers a high-level overview of EVV, common vendor models, and how Softiya fits into your state’s requirements. Always verify details with your state Medicaid agency, waiver manuals, and MCO contracts.
Direct care worker identity and which member/client received the service.
Verified start and end times, plus visit location when required by your program.
Covered service codes or tasks that match your waiver, personal care, or home health benefits.
Exact EVV data elements, timelines, and correction rules differ by state, program, and payer. Please verify with your official Medicaid and EVV documentation.
Some states require agencies to use a single, state-selected EVV system. Agencies usually log in directly or connect through an interface that follows the state’s specifications.
Other states or MCOs allow multiple EVV vendors but use an “aggregator” to collect visit data. Softiya sends approved visits to the aggregator according to that state’s rules, while you continue to manage scheduling and documentation in one place.
Certain managed care plans or waivers may require their own EVV connections. Configuration is payer-specific and should be confirmed in each contract or provider manual.
Examples of EVV and aggregator vendors in the market include systems similar to Sandata, HHAeXchange, and others. Your state or payer will publish the official list and technical requirements. Please verify with them before configuration.
Visits are scheduled once in Softiya, even if you run PCA, HCBS, home health, group home, or NEMT. The same visit record can be used for EVV export, billing, and payroll.
Softiya can be configured to create visit files that match your state or payer templates. Where available, interfaces can be aligned with the aggregator or EVV vendor used in your state.
Configuration options depend on your state, EVV vendor, and contracts. A short consultation is recommended before finalizing your EVV approach.
