Understanding North Dakota’s Electronic Visit Verification

Section 12006(a) of the 21st Century Cures Act requires states to implement EVV for all Medicaid Personal Care Services (PCS). North Dakota chose Therap as the state-sponsored EVV vendor and Sandata Technologies as the aggregator Vendor. The North Dakota Department of Human Services has adopted an open EVV model. Providers may choose to use their own EVV system that will be required to submit data to the data aggregator.

EVV PHASE I:

Personal care services was required to have an EVV system in place by January 01, 2020. States that fail to comply are subject to incremental funds reductions up to 1 percent per year.

EVV PHASE II:

North Dakota began requiring EVV for PCS claims on January 01, 2021.
