Starting Oct. 1, 2023, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) will implement a hard launch of the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system for Home Health Care Services (HHCS) rendered under both the Standard Plans and NC Medicaid Direct.
EVV will verify:
- Date of service
- Beneficiary receiving services
- Location of service
- Individual providing service
- Type of service rendered
- Time the service begins and ends
Services covered through the State Plan and the 3-A Home Health Clinical Coverage Policy that will be subject to the EVV requirement:
- Home health aide
- Physical therapy
- Speech therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Skilled nursing visits
On this date:
- All home health providers are expected to be fully compliant with EVV requirements
- EVV data must be validated prior to claims adjudication, and
- Claims without the required EVV criteria will be denied.
