Does my software have to be approved by Georgia Medicaid for EVV?
Georgia uses an open model. You can use the state’s EVV system or an alternative one that meets federal rules. The vendor must submit a DCH attestation and send visit data to the state system, and you still register with the state solution. You pay for the alternative system and its connection.
Georgia’s Department of Community Health says it uses an open EVV model. The state provides a system, and a data aggregator that takes in data from alternative systems.
If you use an alternative system:
- It must meet the federal EVV requirements.
- The vendor must submit the Georgia DCH Third-Party Attestation.
- It must send the required data to the state system.
- You must still register with the state solution.
- You pay for the alternative system and its integration. DCH does not credit those costs.
Who it covers: Personal Support Services and Community Living Supports under SOURCE, CCSP, ICWP, NOW, COMP and GAPP, and home health care services.
What happens without EVV: the FAQ says claims for those services submitted without EVV information are denied.
Before you pick a vendor:
- Ask if they are on DCH’s list of third-party EVV vendors.
- Ask who will connect to the state, and who fixes errors.
- Ask what happens when the state sends back a data problem.
DCH keeps a list of identified third-party EVV vendors on its Medicaid site. Check the newest list, because it changes.
