Rhode Island is geographically compact — the smallest state in the country. But EVV compliance requirements are identical to larger states: every qualifying Medicaid home care visit must produce a clean record in Sandata before the corresponding claim can be processed. Geographic size doesn't affect the compliance obligation or the billing consequences of unresolved exceptions.
Rhode Island's Open model allows agencies to choose their EVV capture method. All visit data must reach Sandata regardless of how it's captured. Exceptions — missed clock-ins, location discrepancies, time mismatches — must be resolved in Sandata before billing. For smaller Rhode Island agencies where one person handles billing, scheduling, and compliance simultaneously, the exception queue builds as fast as it would in a larger market.
CareBravo manages the Rhode Island Sandata exception queue daily as part of its delivered operations — regardless of agency size.
