CIB: Further Guidance on Implementation Electronic Visit Verification

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to provide technical assistance to states and other stakeholders to ensure compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act. The Agency has received numerous requests from states and stakeholders to clarify certain electronic visit verification (EVV) requirements.

Today CMS issued an Informational Bulletin that includes a set of frequently asked questions to provide guidance regarding the applicability of EVV requirements to beneficiaries with live-in caregivers, the provision of durable medical equipment, and services rendered partially in the home and partially in the community, where requirement may create privacy concerns.

This guidance also affirms that web-based electronic timesheets alone are not sufficient for ensuring EVV compliance.

This guidance adds additional clarity to previous guidance available on our resource page.
