What Is EVV and Why Is It Required

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a federally mandated system that requires care providers to electronically record the start and end times of each shift. At LIVEWELL, clocking in and out for every shift is a required part of compliance for all Medicaid-funded services, including those through the Regional Center.

Why Is EVV Required?

EVV ensures:

  • Accurate tracking of care hours

  • Timely and correct payroll processing

  • Compliance with federal and state regulations

  • Protection of both care partners and the individuals they support

By using EVV, you remain compliant, help prevent errors, avoid delays in payment, and ensure your work is properly recorded and credited.
