The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services submitted a Good Faith Effort Exemption request to CMS for a delay in EVV implementation for Personal Care Services (PCS).
On December 23, 2019, CMS granted the exemption request and delayed the implementation of EVV for PCS until January 1, 2021.
It is still unknown how the state of Michigan plans to proceed with the EVV implementation as the plan has not been decided as of January 2021.
