Minnesota has announced that it will deny claims for services provided without EVV compliance. To avoid your agency being a risk of claim denials, it is vital to have a robust system that integrates EVV into claims generation.
You do not have to bear ongoing costs for the DSS EVV system. However, if you choose to integrate your current scheduling system into the DSS' EVV system or any third-party EVV-based solution, you may have to pay for that service.
All services requiring an in-home visit included in claims under the home health or personal care services category on the CMS-64 form are subject to the EVV requirement. In addition, services furnished under waivers or demonstration projects that meet the statutory or regulatory definition of a "home health service" or "personal care service" must meet the EVV requirement, even if they are bundled into a different service or furnished through a managed care provider. In other words, if the service includes personal care or home health services, even if it has a different name or includes additional services, it is subject to EVV.

According to Minnesota laws, a caregiver who works an irregular shift pattern must get a reasonable notice of their hours at least seven days in advance.
