    Understanding Delaware’s Electronic Visit Verification

    The 21st Century Cures Act mandates Delaware to have an EVV system in place by January 1, 2023, for Personal Care Services (PCS). The Delaware Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance (DMMA) is working closely to implement an EVV system for Home Care Services in 2022.

    In support of Delaware’s EVV system, DMMA and DDDS need information from the state regarding EVV. The state vendor must complete the survey, which is short and easy. The deadline to complete the survey is May 27, 2022.

    Delaware's Home Care Regulations & Facts

    While Delaware is one of the smallest states in the country, it is also home to a large senior population because of the state's senior-friendly tax policies, which is why Delaware is known as a tax haven for retirees. The Delaware Assistance for Caregivers program is unique for supporting individuals who need care. Additionally, there are some other regulations that home care providers and workers must abide by, which are:

    • The minimum pay for caregivers in Delaware is $14.80 per hour.
    • Delaware labor laws do not have any mandates governing the payment of overtime. The Federal overtime laws apply here.
