Ohio Providers Struggle to Find Approved Alternative Vendor

/0 Comments/in

Ohio has a contract with Sandata to provide a state-wide EVV solution, beginning January 8, 2018. The state claims providers can use their own vendor instead of Sandata, but some providers are finding it difficult to get alternative vendors approved.

Only services provided through the fee-for-service Medicaid program are included. Services reimbursed through a managed care plan are not part of the EVV program at this time.

Programs Affected: State Plan Home Health Aide, State Plan Home Health Nursing, Private Duty Nursing (PDN), Ohio Home Care Waiver Nursing, Ohio Home Care Waiver Personal Care Aide, Home Care Attendant, and RN Assessment

Indiana State EVV Updates2018 MITC

Indiana to Implement Aggregator System

/0 Comments/in

Indiana has enlisted DCX Technology to design an EVV system for implementation effective January 1, 2019. Providers may use another system to EVV, since the one DCX is creating will aggregate data from other systems. If providers choose to use another system, it must document the following (as written in an IHCP bulletin):

  • Type of service performed
  • Individual receiving the service
  • Date of service
  • Location of service delivery
  • Individual providing the service
  • Time the service begins and ends

Indiana has not yet released training material for the new EVV system.

Programs Affected: Personal care services
