Licensing Requirements for Home Care Agencies in South Dakota
This video explores the licensing and agency registration requirements for home care agencies in South Dakota, and how software solutions help manage compliance.
The state’s Medicaid HCBS and personal care programs are overseen by the South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS) and agencies must align with provider enrollment, licensure, documentation and EVV workflows.
Who we empower every day
By Role
- Agency Owners – Ensure your agency is properly licensed, enrolled, follows provider requirements and integrates EVV workflows.
By Persona
- Supervisors – Verify caregiver credentials, licensure alignment, documentation and scheduling as per regulations.
- Care Managers – Assign only caregivers with appropriate credentials and ensure services delivered align with scope.
- Billers – Ensure provider enrollment details, licensure and EVV data support claim submission.
- Schedulers – Assign staff in accordance with agency credentials, regulatory scope and EVV capture tools.
- Caregivers – Understand which agency credentials they are under, know the scope of tasks permitted and use compliant tools.
- On-Call Coordinators – Manage backup/emergent staffing while ensuring agency compliance with licensure, EVV capture and documentation.
Licensing and provider enrolment are foundational. In settings with EVV mandates, a system that links caregiver credentials, scheduling, EVV capture and claims helps maintain compliance and minimise operational risk.
