Texas Temporarily Drops EVV Compliance Level

/0 Comments/in

Due to the recent shakeup when Texas chose not to renew its contract with one of the two statewide EVV vendors, the state has temporarily dropped its EVV compliance level. Texas had a 90-percent minimum EVV Compliance Plan score for providers, but has decreased the requirement to 75-percent while providers are transitioning.

DHS states: “Effective June 1, 2018, all provider visits between March 1, 2018 and Nov. 30, 2018 must meet the minimum EVV Compliance Plan Score of 75-percent. The 90-percent minimum EVV Compliance Plan score will resume beginning with visits on Dec. 1, 2018.”

Texas Will Not Renew Contract with EVV Vendor

/0 Comments/in

In 2016, Texas mandated a “modified open vendor model” with two EVV vendors eligible for selection by provider agencies: DataLogic Vesta and MEDsys. MEDsys’ contract ends in November 2018 and HHSC announced it will not be renewing MEDsys’ contract due to their poor services. Providers using MEDsys have until September 30, 2018 to switch to DataLogic Vesta; they must begin the process before July 31st to allow sufficient time.

Alternatively, providers may choose their own system, but DataLogic Vesta must approve it.

Programs Affected: Personal assistance, personal care, in-home respite services
