Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

Attention EVV Providers - Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) permitted states that anticipated being unable to meet the implementation deadline to submit a request for a Good Faith Effort Exemption (GFEE). A GFEE approval allows states to implement EVV for HHCS after the required deadline of Jan. 1, 2023, without CMS applying a Federal Medical Assistance Percentage legislated penalty. NC Medicaid submitted a GFEE request to CMS and was granted approval.

Timelines for implementation of EVV are noted below for each health plan below:

    Soft launch start Hard launch start
NC Medicaid Direct (HHCS) NCTracks + Providers 4/1/2023 7/1/2023
Tailored Plans (HHCS) EPS + TPs + HHAExchange 7/1/2023 10/1/2023
Tailored Plans (PCS) EPS + TPs + HHAExchange 4/1/2023 7/1/2023

The 21st Century Cures Act (Section 12006a) and The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) mandate that states begin utilizing an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system for Personal Care Services (PCS) that require an in-home visit by January 1, 2021.

More information about this mandate can be found here: 

Trillium has partnered with an external vendor, HHAeXchange, to provide the EVV tools necessary for designated providers to comply and meet this requirement.

If you received a letter and/or email referencing EVV from Trillium, please complete the HHAeXchange Portal Configuration Questionnaire.

General EVV information can also be found on the HHAeXchange North Carolina Provider Information Center.
