Alternative EVV Systems in Massachusetts
This video covers Massachusetts’ “Alt-EVV” option: providers may choose their own EVV system rather than the state’s provided solution, provided it meets data and aggregator requirements.
It explains what criteria an alternate system must meet and how CareSmartz360 qualifies and integrates seamlessly with the state aggregator.
Who we empower every day

- Care Managers – Ensure care workflows link to the chosen EVV system

Massachusetts’ open EVV model allows “Alt-EVV” systems — but they must transmit the six core CMS data elements and integrate with the Sandata aggregator. Drops in compliance or data lag can trigger claim edits or denials.
