States that do not comply with EVV are subject to incremental Federal Medical Assistance Percentages FMAP) reductions.
In addition to the EVV mandate, 10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day.1 The majority of those baby boomers are hoping to age in their own homes. Between EVV and the rapid graying of the U.S. population, the demand for cost-effective home healthcare is skyrocketing. And so is the need for mobile technology to efficiently empower that care.
The EVV mandate is for services that require an in-home visit and support activities of daily living (ADL), like bathing and dressing, and instrumental activities for daily living (IADL), such as meal preparation, taking medication or shopping.
The goal of EVV is to help cut down on fraud and ensure that people receive the documented care that they need. It will also empower the industry to become more efficient and transparent by integrating payers and providers.
