    Understanding Texas's Electronic Visit Verification

    HHSC is implementing EVV as per Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act. However, EVV in Texas is implemented in phases, which are:

    EVV PHASE I:

    Effective January 1, 2021, Electronic Visit Verification is required for Medicaid personal care services.

    EVV PHASE II:

    By October 2023, users of the current EVV vendor systems must transition to HHAeXchange or even receive an approval as an EVV Proprietary System Operator by this date.

    The state will have to receive reduced federal Medicaid funding if EVV is not implemented.

    What are the home care regulations & EVV rules in Texas?

    The home care industry in Texas is growing rapidly, and reports show that it will continue to benefit from strong growth in the number of adults aged 65 and older and federal funding for both Medicare and Medicaid. However, with such expansion, the home care agencies must abide by some laws, which are:

    • Caregiving pay in Texas varies between $8.00 and $14.00 per hour, depending on the benefits and hourly pay. Many senior care companies also provide bonus incentives.
    • Home care providers must offer a minimum of an 8-hour rest period to live-in caregivers during the night.
    • Texas minimum wage laws state that home care providers must count travel hours as work hours or overtime hours if the work is undertaken for business purposes.
    • In Texas, home care providers are not required to provide workers with vacation benefits, either paid or unpaid.
    • Home care providers must pay their workers prevailing wages, which may differ from the state’s standard minimum wage rates.
    • Providers may give their workers a paid meal break of fewer than 20 minutes. However, a break lasting 30 minutes or more need not be paid for.

    Using a home care management software can make your life easier. The GPS-enabled technology can help Texas Home Care Agencies verify and keep track of caregiver billing and payroll. Caregiver training helps caregivers expand their skills and lets them learn anywhere and anytime!
