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.

EVV allows verification of an employee’s location, hours of work for payroll and billing, visits being reported are actually taking place, and that the patients are getting the care they require.
Better care delivery, gapless communications, enhanced productivity of the staff, and automation of key processes are some other benefits of implementing EVV. It also helps to curb fraud and ensure transparency in care quality with continuous tracking and monitoring.
