    Understanding New Hampshire’s Electronic Visit Verification

    New Hampshire (NH) worked with the stakeholder community in the first half of 2020 to identify EVV design and program requirements. These requirements will help in procuring information system components needed for implementing EVV. The Electronic Visit Verification implementation timeline in New Hampshire looked as follows:

    EVV Phase I:

    NH sought a CMS good faith effort exemption for delaying implementation until January 01, 2021, which was approved on November 21, 2019.

    EVV PHASE II:

    New Hampshire contracted with Mercer Health & Benefits LLC to assist stakeholder engagement and identify EVV business requirements used as the foundation for Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure EVV services on December 12, 2021.

    EVV Phase III-

    Soft launch of EVV is estimated to begin on January 01, 2023.

    EVV Phase IV-

    The CMS certification will be attained between July- September 2023 while the state-wide EVV implementation is January 01, 2024.

    Do you know?

    The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and Health Facilities Administration oversees the state's licensing and regulation of home care providers. There are a few rules that home care agencies must follow if they want their agency to comply with the current regulations:

    • Home care workers in New Hampshire are entitled to minimum pay of $7.25 per hour.
    • In-home senior care agencies in New Hampshire are struggling to acquire staff to meet their community needs, meaning there is a high caregiver shortage in the state.
    • New Hampshire law permits pre-employment credit checks.
    • Since New Hampshire is an equal pay law state, employers may not require workers to refrain from disclosing their wages as an employment condition. Thus, home care providers may not terminate or discriminate against a worker who reveals their salary or other paid benefits.
    • Unlike other states, a home care provider may not force workers to work for more than five consecutive hours without granting them a 30-minute lunch break.
    • New Hampshire has the second best Medicaid program in the United States, called NH Medicaid (Medical Assistance) Eligibility for Adults.

    FAQs: Home Care in New Hampshire

    • 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

    The soft launch period is the time for provider agencies, clients, and caregivers to adapt to EVV system use without claim impacts. During the soft launch period, provider agencies are required to use the DHS EVV system or an Alternate EVV system that interfaces with DHS Aggregator. During this time, DHS generates reports to see which percent of required claims failed to meet EVV requirements.

    Yes, it is absolutely necessary to use EVV in order to continue to provide care services and be reimbursed for specific mandated programs. The claims that you submit without using this system will be denied as per the 21st Century CURES Act.

    The key technologies used in implementing EVV for capturing visit and care delivery information at the service location are:

    • Mobile Visit Verification (MVV): A GPS-enabled mobile application downloaded on a smartphone or tablet.

    • Telephony Visit Verification (TVV): A system accessed via a toll-free number, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Switching from an old home care software to CareSmartz360 is effortless- all thanks to open APIs, making it an ideal migration tool. These make transition hassle-free and onboarding easy. You can connect CareSmartz360 with any existing tool like QuickBooks, Paychex, Waystar, etc.

    According to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, home care agencies planning to close their operations are required to provide their workers/ employees with an advance written notice.

    New Hampshire complies with the mini-WARN Act and requires that if layoffs affect 25 or more workers, the providers must provide a state agency notice within the same calendar week as the layoff.

    Yes. The home care provider is required to provide a worker with a written statement that states all the deductions, including insurance premiums, charity contributions, taxes, and legitimate deductions made from the gross wages.
