Alaska EVV Compliance

Alaska Uses Therap for EVV.
Here's What That Means for Your Agency.

Alaska Medicaid mandates Electronic Visit Verification through Therap under a Hybrid model. The state aggregates the data — your agency is responsible for clean, timely submission. CareBravo manages that daily work as part of its delivered operations.

Understanding the Hybrid Model

What "Hybrid" Means Day to Day

Alaska's Hybrid EVV model gives agencies some flexibility in how they capture visit data — mobile apps, telephony, or alternative devices are all permitted. What isn't flexible is the destination. Every visit record must flow into Therap, Alaska's state-managed aggregator, before the corresponding claim can process.

The operational burden falls on exceptions. When a caregiver misses a clock-in, a GPS location doesn't match the client address, or a visit end time is disputed — those records sit unresolved in Therap. Unresolved exceptions block billing. Agencies that let them accumulate find billing cycles delayed by days or weeks while the reconciliation backlog clears.

CareBravo manages exception resolution as part of its daily delivered work. The exception queue in Therap is reviewed, corrected, and closed on your schedule — not when your office manager gets around to it.

The compliance risk in Alaska isn't the EVV mandate — it's the exception backlog. Agencies that track visits but don't resolve exceptions on time end up with clean caregiving records and blocked claims.

The Real Cost

EVV Exceptions Are a Billing Drain

Every unresolved EVV exception in Therap represents a visit you delivered but cannot bill. At 30 patients, a single unresolved week of exceptions typically costs an agency $800–$1,400 in delayed revenue. At 60+ patients, the number is proportionally larger — and the backlog harder to clear manually.

CareBravo's exception resolution process is part of its standard delivered operations for Alaska agencies. You don't manage the Therap queue. You receive the billing output once it's clean.

Questions

Alaska EVV — Common Questions

Alaska uses Therap as its state-managed EVV aggregator. All Medicaid-funded home care and waiver service visits must submit EVV data to Therap before claims can process. Therap is the state's designated system — agencies cannot substitute an alternative aggregator.

Under Alaska's Hybrid model, yes — agencies may use their own capture tools (mobile apps, telephony) as long as the visit data is submitted to Therap. The capture method is flexible. The aggregator is not.

EVV is required for all Medicaid-funded Personal Care Services and Home Health aide services, plus waiver services under Alaska's HCBS programs including the Alaskans Living Independently (ALI) waiver. The federal 21st Century CURES Act mandates coverage for these service types nationwide.

Claims without matching, resolved EVV records in Therap will not process. Exceptions — missed clock-ins, location mismatches, disputed visit times — must be corrected in Therap before submission. CareBravo manages this exception resolution as a standard part of its delivered operations work.

CareBravo integrates with state EVV systems including Therap, managing exception resolution, daily visit reconciliation, and submission tracking as part of its operational work. Your agency receives billing-ready outputs — not a queue to manage.
