EVV is a critical component of modern healthcare, enabling the electronic verification of visit information and streamlining the documentation process for homecare stakeholders. Per the request for proposal, the State of Nevada was ’seeking a robust and creative solution that addresses the challenging Medicaid and EVV environments . . . a highly configurable solution . . . and a vendor committed to a collaborative approach to addressing issues and identifying solutions.’
Sandata has demonstrated commitment to these needs through proven accurate, real-time tracking of caregiver visits, validating services rendered and enhancing the overall quality of care provided to individuals across multiple states.
The stated goals for EVV per the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) include:
- Improving health outcomes by ensuring that the highest quality home and community-based services (HCBS) are provided to vulnerable citizens of Nevada;
- Ensuring timely HCBS service delivery for recipients including real-time service gap reporting and monitoring;
- Reducing Administrative burden for Nevada Medicaid providers;
- Reducing and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse in the Nevada Medicaid program.
Sandata, in partnership with the State, will begin EVV program implementation in late 2023 and expects to fully launch the EVV program by January 1, 2024. Updates will be provided to program stakeholders throughout 2023.
