Illinois’s Trusted EVV +
Home Care Software Partner

The state has announced that it will deny claims for services provided without EVV compliance. To avoid your agency being a risk of claim denials, it is vital to have a robust system that integrates EVV into claims generation.

The complete data that must be captured during a visit is:

• The type of service performed
• The full name of the individual receiving the service
• The full name of the individual providing the service
• The specific date the service was provided
• The physical address (location) where the service was provided
• The time the service begins and ends

CareSmartz360 can be used as an EVV solution in Illinois. It offers simplified data migration, award-winning support, and 1:1 training to make a shift from an existing EVV-compliant home care software.

Whenever there is a change in the care plan, the EVV system will send the alert with a pop-up message to the caregiver.

The Health Care Facilities and Programs division of the Illinois Department of Public Health is in charge of licensing and overseeing the organizations that offer elderly citizens in-home care services.

The waiver programs offering financial assistance to seniors seeking home care include:

• Supportive Living Program (SLP)
• HealthChoice Illinois
• Persons Who are Elderly
• Managed Long-term Service and Support

The following training must be completed and renewed annually by Illinois caregivers:

• 8-hour caregiving certification course covering the fundamentals of caregiving, including elder abuse identification, reporting, and HIPAA.
• Any caregiver dealing with elders with memory loss must complete a 6-hour course on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Each year from January 1, 2020, the minimum wage will increase by $1 until 2025, when it reaches $15 per hour.
