Texas Will Not Renew Contract with EVV Vendor

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
