Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is no longer a “new requirement”—it is the gatekeeper of your agency’s cash flow. As we enter 2026, the era of leniency (soft launches and good-faith efforts) has ended.
With Medicare home health payments facing a proposed 6.4% cut in 2026 (approx. $1.13 billion reduction), agencies cannot afford to lose Medicaid revenue to technicalities. Federal auditors (HHS OIG) are now actively auditing state EVV implementations. If your data doesn’t match your claim, the payment won’t just be delayed—it will be denied.
“EVV is a vital component for monitoring caregiver time and attendance. It provides real-time verification that caregivers are arriving on time and completing shifts, ensuring clients receive the care they need. In short, it guarantees accountability for both care quality and billing integrity.”
This guide will help you navigate EVV enforcement in 2026 with confidence. Prepare your home care agency to meet stricter EVV rules, avoid denied claims, and stay audit-ready across all states as enforcement intensifies.
