The Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system for home care is a technology that allows agencies and caregivers to document and verify the exact date, time, location of each visit, as well as that patients are billed only for the services they received. 

The purpose of the EVV system is to prevent fraud, ensure that patients aren’t neglected, and minimize billing errors. This regulation will come into effect on January 1, 2023, and will be mandatory for all US home care agencies, hospices, and personal care service providers. However, some states already require that PCS and HHCS implement EVV.
