Ohio EVV System Closer

Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) Progresses Towards Implanting EVV System

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is adopting an EVV system, expected to go live in January 2018, to promote quality outcomes for individuals (Quality of Care) and reduce billing errors & improve payment accuracy (Program Integrity).

How does the OH Medicaid (ODM) EVV model work? Agencies have two choices for their EVV system:
1) Use ODM’s system, currently operated by Sandata
2) Implement an Alternate EVV System that meets ODM’s specifications

Every EVV system must have two backup methods for collecting data, in specific cases where the primary method does not work. The back method may include a telephony systems.

Alora Home Health Software provides an alternate to Sandata EVV solution for agencies serving Ohio Medicaid patients. The solution fully integrates with the home health software providing agencies with the benefit of live monitoring of visits and alerting for delayed visits and no-shows. The EVV data captured flows into the system facilitating accurate billing and payroll. This integrated solution improves agency efficiency and reduces cost by avoiding manual entry of visit information and timesheet.
