EVV Solutions for Home Care Agencies in South Dakota: Benefits and Features
This video introduces how home care agencies in South Dakota can adopt the CareSmartz360 platform to meet the state’s Electronic Visit Verification requirements under the federal 21st Century Cures Act.
For example, South Dakota’s Medicaid manual states that services subject to EVV must collect six required data elements (type of service, individual served, date, location, individual providing service, time begin/end) and follow the “open vendor model.”
CareSmartz360 is integrated with the state-contracted EVV vendor Therap and offers telephony/GPS mobile app, schedule management, streamlined billing, open APIs, caregiver location tracking, error-free claim submission, point-of-care documentation & seamless migration.

South Dakota uses an “open vendor model”: providers may use the state’s free system (Therap) or choose their own third-party EVV system provided it meets state interface requirements.
By adopting a system that integrates scheduling, mobile/telephony capture, GPS, billing and EVV reporting, agencies reduce operational burden, improve compliance and protect reimbursement.
