Wisconsin (as usual) is very light on details. This is what they say on the who :
DHS vendor Sandata will provide an EVV system to be used by DHS' programs and impacted providers, HMOs, managed care organizations, and program administrators. DHS is considering the use of Sandata’s aggregator technology. If used, this technology would allow providers who already have an EVV system to continue to use it if it meets EVV requirements. I'll have to do some research on this company. Here's what they say on the when DHS plans to implement the new EVV requirement over a span of multiple years based on the federal 21st Century Cures Act requirements. The federal 21st Century Cures Act requires EVV to be implemented for personal care services by January 1, 2020. DHS will continue to work with providers, partners, and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop an appropriate and realistic timeline for EVV implementation. DHS will share updated information regarding the expected timeline when available. Providers do not need to do anything or purchase anything to be in compliance with the EVV requirement at this time. The federal 21st Century Cures Act requires EVV to be implemented for home health services by January 1, 2023. At least they're not rushing into anything. I think the whole thing is bullshit. My choices are 1 drag a caregiver along with me everywhere or 2 the caregiver loses money because I wanted to go to the store without them. Nice choice. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Tue, Apr 16, 2019 at 1:06 AM Dana Wray <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Bobbie and all fellow quadriplegics, > Did you read the article about Electronic Visit Verification posted by > Jim Lubin I wanted to find out and how other states have proposed how > this deal with.
