EVV Implementation

  • The EVV Compliance Survey for providers is now due by

June 1, 2020.

  • Link to survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/WVBZHZN
  • We need every provider to complete this survey.
  • Providers should complete for each MPI#.
  • This information allows us to determine what assistance

providers may need prior to October 1, 2020.

  • The survey is approximately 6 questions and should take

10 minutes to complete.

EVV Signature Requirements

  • OLTL – Common Law Employer

– PPL system – Requires signature

  • ODP – Common Law Employer

– Palco system – Requires signature for EVV services and non-EVV services

  • ODP – Managing Employer

– Sandata/Alternate EVV Providers – Do not need signatures for PCS and non-PCS services if that service goes through an EVV system. Only non-PCS services will require a signature if that service does not go through an EVV system.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Manual Corrections

  • If a provider has to manipulate data or add missing

data or change data in any way after the service is delivered, this is deemed a manual edit.

  • Manual corrections should be done on an exception

basis only.

  • Manual entries may need to occur in those situations

when EVV visit capture modalities are unavailable at the point of care. – These are still considered manual corrections.

4/24/2020 16

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Manual Corrections

  • Manual corrections in EVV are accepted but should

never be the primary source of visit capture information.

  • Supporting hard copy documentation should be kept

for manual corrections.

  • Hard copy documentation is a paper copy.

4/24/2020 17

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Manual Corrections

  • Even if a visit is captured electronically but an exception

sets and is corrected, the record would be classified as a manual correction.

  • EVV compliance is still being discussed internally and

we will share updates in the future through the release

  • f a bulletin.
  • Compliance thresholds are not being enforced at this

time but, per CMS guidance, DHS is monitoring providers and may be contacting them to provide technical assistance.

EVV Error Status Codes

ESC 927 - Units billed exceed units verified in EVV

  • Providers should determine if the units on the claim detail line or the

units found in the EVV record need to be corrected.

  • The provider should make corrections as applicable and resubmit

the claim, ensuring the units found in the EVV aggregator are equal to or greater than the units submitted on the claim.

  • While performing claims resolution analysis, provider agencies are

encouraged to review the rounding rules and/or the calculation rules found in the ODP Guidance, make corrections accordingly and resubmit claim.

  • The Alternate EVV support team at Sandata will create testing

credentials for the provider.

– This process may take up to 5 business days.

– Please monitor your email and spam filters for the delivery of test credentials every day as testing credentials are sent via secure

  • email. It is the provider’s responsibility to forward these items to

their respective Alternate EVV vendor.

  • During this time, agencies must also register and complete the

training for DHS Aggregator via the Learning Management System.

– Once completed, agencies must notify the Alternate EVV support team at Sandata via email PAALTEVV@sandata.com and share their copy of the Certificate of Completion.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Alternate EVV Certification Process – Step 5

  • Once testing is complete, the provider submits the

completed testing checklist to the PA ALT EVV support team at Sandata at PAAltEVV@sandata.com for validation of successful completion.

  • The Alternate EVV support team at Sandata will review

the checklist and email the provider their results (allow 5 business days for a response).

4/24/2020 41

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Alternate EVV Certification Process – Step 5

  • If the provider does not pass, the email from the Alternate

EVV support team at Sandata will indicate which item in the checklist needs review or correction.

  • The provider will resend the checklist back to the

Alternate EVV support team at Sandata in the same support ticket until they pass.

  • Once a checklist passes or is deemed “completed,” the

provider may move to Step 6.

4/24/2020 42

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Alternate EVV Certification Process – Step 6

  • Providers will email PAAltEVV@sandata.com to request their

production credentials within 5 business days of passing their checklist.

  • In that same email, the provider will indicate the date they wish

to transmit their live data to the DHS Aggregator (aka “Go- Live”).

– This needs to be completed within 10 business days of the provider’s receipt of the Go-Live email.

  • The Alternate EVV support team at Sandata will then respond

with Production Credentials and verify the provider’s Go-Live date.

4/24/2020 43

slide-44
SLIDE 44

Alternate EVV Certification Process – Step 7

  • On the Go-Live date, the provider will log into the DHS

Aggregator and verify that live EVV data is flowing correctly into the Read-Only Production DHS Aggregator.

  • If any data is absent, or incorrect, the provider will work with

the Alternate EVV support team at Sandata and their Alternate EVV vendor to troubleshoot any issues.

  • Once successful data transmission is confirmed, the provider

emails the Alternate EVV support team at Sandata to confirm successful data transmission in the DHS Aggregator.

EVV Questions

4/24/2020 59

Care Giver Recip Date Service Visit Time Check Out Visit Time Clock Out Visit Time (for DCW) Total Units Found during Claim Validation 1 1 04/23/2020 Respite Level 3 (1:1) – Day 04:00AM 12:00PM 8 hrs. 0 hrs. 1 2 04/23/2020 Respite Level 3 (1:1) – Day 12:01PM 8:10PM 8 hrs. 9 mins.

Question: Why does the DHS EVV Provider Portal show that a visit has zero (0) billable units, when it can be combined with other visit calls received for the same member and date of service by another careworker? The DHS EVV Provider Portal does not know how the provider intends to bill, until a claim is received requesting matching visits. As such, the portal may show that a service has 0 billable units, when in fact if the agency bills for multiple caregivers’ visit units collectively on the same claim, it would equal a unit.

For Day Unit Service: Minimum of 16 hrs. = 1 Unit When billed together (16 hrs. 9 mins.) = 1 unit Each visit displays on DHS EVV Provider Portal = 0 Unit

EVV Questions

Question: Do caregivers need to register for a Unique ID?

  • DHS is rolling out the unique ID requirement in phases.
  • Direct care workers in OLTL waivers in participant-directed

programs were the first group required to obtain unique ID.

  • DHS is making several enhancements to the system before

rolling it out to agency workers.

  • Once the enhancements are completed, DHS will provide

additional instructions to agencies regarding this requirement.

slide-61
SLIDE 61

4/24/2020 61

EVV Questions

Question: Can the caregiver use the client’s cell phone to clock

in and out through the telephonic system?

  • Telephonic verification must include validation through a GPS or

location system.

  • Cell phones are not acceptable for telephonic verification unless a

location device code is included.

  • Fixed Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is acceptable.
  • Non-fixed VOIP will require a location device code.
slide-62
SLIDE 62

4/24/2020 62

EVV Questions

Question: Is a paper timesheet required for missed clock in's or clock out’s?

Paper timesheets are not required; however, issues or corrections due to a missed clock-in or clock-out should be noted with the appropriate reason code and supporting hard copy documentation, as best determined by the provider agency, should be available for auditing purposes.

EVV Questions

Question: Can Sandata provide specific dates for when the

Sandata Mobile Connect (SMC) application is updated?

When Sandata submits an update to the “app stores” on a given release date, both Google Play and Apple must first review and approve the builds before the application is published and available to download. Sandata has no control over the “app stores” review and approval process. The entire process of a new version of SMC to be available in the stores for user download can typically take up to 2 weeks, which is communicated via the release notification in emails. Please be sure to monitor your emails for these important release notices.
