Side by side.
| Sandata Technologies | CareBravo | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | State Medicaid agencies (EVV in 23+ states), Medicaid health plans, and agency software (Fuse). | Medicaid home and community based care owners, single location, from first clients up. Personal Support Services and case management now; Personal Care Homes and Adult Day Health next. |
| EVV | State-run EVV and aggregation under state Medicaid contracts. | The caregiver’s tap at the door. Sends to the state’s system where required. Listed by Georgia DCH as an EVV vendor. Rejections come back explained. |
| Payroll | Not described on its site. | The timesheet and payroll file are made from the tap, for your payroll company. |
| Billing | Revenue Cycle Management Services (managed service) for agencies; Claims Solution for payers (Sandata homepage). | Claims built from checked shifts; every denial worked. Managed Billing adds our specialists and a written 99% guarantee. |
| AI | Not described on its site. | An AI agent in each of nine jobs, coordinated by Cary®. Works inside rules you write once. A person confirms anything that moves money or changes care; the nurse signs. Runs inside our HIPAA safeguards. |
| Switching | not published. | The Parallel Promise™: two weeks beside your current system on real data; nothing switches until the numbers match. |
We don’t compare software prices, because the software is not what you are paying for. You are paying for the work after the tap, and who does it. Our prices are all published on Pricing.

What Sandata Technologies does well
- Says it pioneered EVV in 1994 and holds over 23 state Medicaid contracts (Sandata homepage).
- State aggregator in many states, including California, Colorado, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin and DC per HHAeXchange’s guide; Missouri and Nevada selections announced by press release.
- Offers agency management (Fuse), Revenue Cycle Management services and business intelligence alongside EVV (Sandata homepage).
- Regular platform releases (Sandata EVV 8.53 release notes, 4 Mar 2026).
What it leaves to your office
- In a Sandata state, an agency on its own software still has to register with and transmit to the state’s Sandata system, so there are two systems in her week.
- No payroll product on its site; agencies pay staff through another system.
That last column is the pattern we call Tangleware™: good tools, and an owner in the middle, retyping between them. It is not a judgment about Sandata Technologies. It is what happens when the visit has to be carried by hand from one system to the next.
Which one is right for you.
If your state uses Sandata Technologies
Your visits have to reach it, whatever software you run. That choice was made by the state, not by you. CareBravo sends each visit there from one tap at the door.
CareBravo fits if
You run a Medicaid home and community based care agency, you are the one in the middle of the apps, and you want the hours back for your clients or your family.
What owners ask about Sandata Technologies.
Does CareBravo work with Sandata Technologies?
Yes. CareBravo works with Sandata Technologies. The caregiver taps in at the door, and the visit goes to Sandata Technologies wherever your state requires it. Each state approves its own connection, so we confirm yours before you switch.
Do I still have to use Sandata Technologies if my state uses it?
Your visits still have to reach Sandata Technologies, because the state checks claims against it. You do not have to type them in. CareBravo sends each visit there, then does the billing, payroll and paperwork that follow.
What does Sandata Technologies not do for my agency?
Sandata Technologies collects visit data for the state. It does not run your payroll, chase your denials, write your charts or update families. That office work is what CareBravo’s AI agents do, with a person confirming anything that moves money or care.
Five promises, written like promises.
- Nothing stops. Your current system keeps running while CareBravo runs beside it for two weeks on your real data. The Parallel Promise
- 99%, in writing. On Managed Billing, at least 99% of your claims go out without a mistake we caused. If we make one, we fix it free. We cannot promise what a payer decides. Read the guarantee
- The floor, stated up front: $250 a month, no seats, no per-user fees, no implementation fee — and corrections never billed twice.
- Thirty days’ notice, either way.
- Nobody calls unless you ask.
