Maine EVV Compliance

Maine MaineCare Uses Sandata for EVV.
Here's What That Means.

Maine MaineCare requires Sandata as its EVV aggregator under an Open model. Every qualifying home care visit must have a clean, resolved Sandata record before billing can proceed. CareBravo manages exception resolution and billing readiness as delivered operational work.

Sandata and the Daily Exception Queue

Maine's Open model allows agencies to select any compliant EVV capture tool. The aggregator is Sandata, and that's not flexible. All visit data must reach Sandata before a MaineCare claim can be processed — regardless of how the visit was captured in the field.

Maine is a smaller Medicaid market than Texas or California, but the EVV compliance requirements are identical. Every visit must produce a clean Sandata record. Every exception must be resolved before billing. For agencies in smaller markets, the exception management burden can fall entirely on one or two people — and when those people are managing other functions simultaneously, the queue builds faster than it gets cleared.

CareBravo manages the Maine Sandata exception queue as part of its daily delivered operations. Regardless of agency size, exceptions are resolved on schedule.

Every Exception Is Revenue Waiting

For a 20-patient Maine agency, a week of unresolved Sandata exceptions typically represents $500–$1,000 in visits delivered but not yet billable. Clear the exceptions, and revenue releases. Let them accumulate, and the billing cycle falls behind — every week, compounding.

CareBravo resolves exceptions daily. Maine agencies receive billing-ready outputs without a separate reconciliation step before billing.
