Virginia is an open model state. Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act made implementing an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system compulsory. The Department of Medical Assistance (DMAS) regulates Medicaid-funded Personal Care Services. Like many other states, Virginia filed a Good Faith Effort extension with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and approved the extension. Electronic Visit Verification in Virginia was implemented on June 30, 2020.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services does not interpret the EVV requirement to apply to PACE program services. In CMS's view, PACE is a separate Medicaid benefit listed in section 1905(a)(26) of the Social Security Act. That provision is not cited in section 12006(a)(5)(C) of the Cures Act.
