EVV Readiness Questionnaire |
Are you ready for Electronic Visit Verification?
Beginning in August 2020, New York Agencies may begin registering their chosen Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) solution with the New York State Aggregator. Agencies will then have until December 31st, 2020 to register their selected EVV solution and be ready to go on January 1st, 2021. This will be mandatory for all Community Hab and Respite Programs.
eVero offers 3 solutions to meet your EVV needs:
GPS: This option is featured within the eVero Mobile Apps and is currently used by staff. Once EVV is in place, staff must have location services enabled and active during their use of the App.
Telephony (TVV)/Landline: This option is available as a way to document real-time start/stop for staff, and records services through the use of a registered landline at the home of the Individual. The staff will listen and follow a series of prompts through the phone. The plan will need to be printed so they can respond to the prompts effectively. Staff will require a unique PIN.
Fixed Object (FOB): This option is available as a way to record the real-time start/stop for staff through the use of a fixed object random number generator, which must be located at the Individual's home. This is for staff who do not have a smartphone and Individuals who do not have a landline telephone. This EVV option exists to ensure that the requirements for EVV are achieved in even the least tech-enabled environments.
