    Understanding Kentucky's Electronic Visit Verification

    Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) has selected NETSMART to provide continuous supervision of the elderly, personal care services, residential care services, and recreational activities.

    EVV PHASE I:

    DMS believed EVV Phase I to simplify required documentation and reduce the administrative burden on providers and participants, improve elderly safety and welfare, and be developed with input from all stakeholders.

    EVV PHASE II:

    Agencies do not need to register, and January 01, 2021, was selected as the EVV implementation date.

    The 21st Century Cures Act required agencies to select an EVV system that electronically verifies their information.

    Kentucky's Home Care Regulations & Facts

    Do you know?

    Kentucky has laws that provide greater protections to employees/ caregivers than federal law. A home care agency must comply with state and federal requirements:

    • The average pay for a caregiver is $13.86 per hour in Kentucky. If the federal minimum pay is increased. Kentucky’s minimum pay will increase by the same amount.
    • Unlike FLSA laws, caregivers in Kentucky are entitled a 10-minute paid rest break for every four hours worked and a reasonable meal break in the middle of their shift.
    • Home caregivers in California are generally entitled to unpaid breaks throughout their shift. In a facility, the caregiver is required to take an unpaid break every four hours.
    • Kentucky does not have prevailing wage law governing the wage rates on service contracts.
    • The Professional Association of Caregivers recommends an 8-hour certification course.
    • Kentucky does not regulate time-off benefits for caregivers.

    Home care management software can help you comply with Kentucky’s non-medical industry laws. With GPS-enabled technology, agencies can automate payroll, billing, and time tracking.
