Idaho Confirms Details of EVV Roll Out

Some states have still not determined their EVV system. Idaho recently confirmed that all providers need to acquire their own system for EVV to submit data to the Idaho state aggregator. MITC was one of the software companies Idaho confirmed as being compatible.

Illinois has started communicating with providers on EVV. No dates published yet.

DSP Awards 2020

/0 Comments/in

DSP’s have been one of the critical groups at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19.

To show our appreciation, MITC announced in April of 2020 that we would give away $10,000 to 31 hardworking and dedicated DSP’s who were nominated by someone from their agency. 

MITC values the hard work put forth by DSPs everyday, and hoped to show our appreciation through these prizes!

Over the course of several months, we received hundreds of nominations sharing the stories of incredibly hardworking and dedicated DSPs; each one unique and notable.

A team of MITC employees read through every story to pick the 31 winners, a task that was not taken lightly. Eventually, our winners were chosen and two presentations were given, sharing their remarkable stories.

The DSP community works hard every day, not just during a crisis, which is why MITC will be repeating the DSP Awards in 2021. DSP’s are deserving of all recognition possible, and MITC is hoping to contribute to that. Keep an eye out this summer for more information on how to nominate your DSP!

Thank you to all DSP’s for your hard work in 2020, as well as your continued efforts going into 2021.

EVV Training Every Monday, Every Week. Now 120 Minutes

  • Every Monday at 2:00pm EST until January 31st
  • Includes a “What’s New” section at the start of each training. Providers who have joined an earlier training, can get updates at the start

Why use Schedules with EVV

Many providers are not used to using Schedules in HCBS programs as the actual time of the service may vary and the care givers often schedule around the individual or family needs.

Some providers do use schedules in these same programs. This is why:

  1. It is important to ensure an authorization is maximized so that the individual gets the services the individual is entitled to, and the agency gets the revenue.
  2. Verify the care giver uses the right service code on clocking-in. If the individual is entitled to Community Habilitation and Respite Care, the care giver will need to select the service on clock-in. If the care giver uses the wrong service code, the wrong authorization will be updated, the billing may be lower than optimum, and the wrong documentation may be completed.

Basically, the providers using Schedules think they achieve better service delivery and billing outcomes.
