The EVV system was put into place in 2020 by the federal government in an effort to stem the tide of caregiver fraud in the home healthcare system. However many states delayed implementing EVV policies. This has resulted in a significant level of complacency by both caregivers and home healthcare companies and networks.
In 2023 The Federal Government Put It’s Foot Down
As of last year the federal government required all states to complete implementation of EVV for caregivers within the entire system. However, after years of little activity many caregivers have been used to complacency and companies and networks just fixing and adjusting things for them.
Now The Federal Government Is Warning Of Compliance Audits
Because it is now common knowledge that many companies and networks in the system routinely “fix” hours for caregivers when they forget to clock in, the federal government sees this situation as simply another avenue for likely fraud and is warning of compliance audits and even threatening to withhold payments for non-compliant caregivers.
We Help Protect You And Your Care Givers
Our system is designed to reinforce the importance of properly tracking time, every time, in a way that is difficult for you to do. Our process is designed to create an air of authority when our team speaks to your care givers and staff. That authority gets them to understand the incredible importance of proper procedure with the EVV system. We further provide tools to prevent your care givers “forgetting” and then provide a process that helps ensure your care givers don’t think it’s you or your administrative staff being difficult and unhelpful.
Most Importantly We Save Your Staff’s Time
Having to readjust hours in the EVV system and the documentation for why it was done is an unnecessary drain of time for your administrative staff. Because we both largely solve the problem in the first place, then provide a process for your care givers, we save an enormous amount of your staff’s time.
Finally, We Provide Compliance Audit Protection
Should you receive an audit, our process is documented, and we provide additional documentation showing the dramatic increase in compliance, the reason for that increase, and attend a compliance audit with you to dramatically reduce the likelihood of any issues from an audit.
