New York EVV compliance software for home care

The state departments of health in New York have requirements that home care agencies must follow in order to keep their businesses operating legally. The following few rules must be followed if you want to determine whether your organization complies with the current regulations:

• New York has chosen to work with three EVV aggregators: eMedNY, HHAeXchange, and CareBridge and your EVV system must fulfill any of these EVV aggregator’s specifications.
• New York State, along with guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), affirms that Telephony, Mobile apps, and Fixed Object (FOB) technologies are compliant ways of collecting EVV data.
• PCAs and HCAs are required to finish a topic-specific 40-hour training program and a 75-hour training program with 16 hours of practical skills instruction from the NYSDOH.
• The average salary for a caregiver/companion is $17.22 per hour in New York.
• The State of New York provides eligible caregivers with up to 12 weeks of family leave and up to 56 hours of paid sick leave per year.
• Eligible home care employers are entitled to pay additional $4.09/hour in wages and/or benefits to home health workers who perform Medicaid-reimbursed work in New York.

Using home care management software can empower you to run your business smoothly. The GPS-enabled technology helps New York Home Care Agencies stay EVV compliant and verify and keep track of caregiver training, remuneration, and leave policy for easy billing and payroll.
