Florida EVV Compliance

Florida EVV Depends on Which MCO You Bill.
Here's How to Navigate It.

Florida uses a payer-choice EVV model — there's no single state aggregator. Your required EVV system depends on your managed care contracts. Netsmart, HHAeXchange, and Coastal Care are all active in Florida. Agencies billing multiple MCOs may need to manage multiple systems. CareBravo handles the complexity as delivered operational work.

Florida's payer-choice model means there is no single correct answer for "what EVV system does Florida use." The correct answer is: whichever system each of your MCO contracts requires. Check with each payer individually. The table above lists the active vendors — confirm which applies to your agency's specific contracts.

The Multi-MCO Challenge

Why Florida EVV Is More Complex Than Most States

In states with a single EVV aggregator, the compliance question is straightforward: submit to that system. Florida doesn't work that way. Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care program routes beneficiaries through multiple managed care plans — Humana, Aetna Better Health, Sunshine Health, United Healthcare, and others — each of which may designate a different EVV vendor or accept different EVV data formats.

A Florida agency contracted with three MCOs may need to submit EVV data to three different systems. Each system has its own exception categories, its own correction workflow, and its own billing cycle timeline. Managing these manually means logging into multiple portals, tracking separate exception queues, and ensuring each billing cycle accounts for each payer's specific requirements.

CareBravo manages multi-MCO EVV compliance as part of its delivered operations for Florida agencies. You receive billing-ready output for each contracted payer — without tracking three separate portals.

The Real Cost

Florida's Complexity Creates Specific Revenue Risks

Multi-payer EVV management creates a specific failure pattern: agencies that successfully manage their primary MCO's EVV queue fall behind on secondary MCO requirements. Revenue from the secondary payer delays. The exception queue grows. By the time the billing cycle catches up, the agency is operating two to three weeks behind on claims for that payer.

CareBravo manages EVV for all of a Florida agency's contracted MCOs simultaneously. No payer falls behind while another gets attention.

Questions

Florida EVV — Common Questions

No. Florida uses a payer-choice model — there is no single state-mandated EVV aggregator. Each managed care plan designates its own required EVV vendor or accepts data from multiple sources. Netsmart, HHAeXchange, and Coastal Care are all active in Florida, but which one applies to your agency depends on your MCO contracts.

Contact each MCO you are contracted with directly and request their EVV requirements documentation. Many MCOs include EVV system information in their provider manuals. Do not assume a single system applies across all your contracts — verify each payer individually before configuring your EVV setup.

Florida's Long-Term Care Medicaid program provides home and community-based services to individuals who qualify for nursing facility level of care. Services provided in the home under this program — including personal care and aide services — are subject to EVV requirements. The specific EVV system required depends on which managed care plan administers the beneficiary's care.

Yes. CareBravo manages EVV integration, exception resolution, and billing readiness across multiple payers and EVV systems as delivered operational work. Florida agencies with multiple MCO contracts don't track each system separately — CareBravo handles exception resolution across all contracted payers simultaneously.

Federal law requires EVV for all Medicaid-funded Personal Care Services and Home Health aide services. Florida's Long-Term Care Managed Care and Statewide Medicaid Managed Care programs require EVV for qualifying home-based services. Verify specific service code requirements with each MCO you are contracted with.
