BILLING AND PAYROLL – QUICK AND ACCURATE
EVV data captured by Alora’s electronic visit verification software automatically flows into Alora’s main Home Health Software for Wisconsin agencies. Once a caregiver departs from a patient’s home, the visit information automatically updates within Alora , including the date of the visit with start and end time. The visit is then marked as complete, automating the process of preparation for billing and payroll. Any visits that are not executed as planned are immediately flagged within Alora Homecare software for manual review.

EFFICIENCY & AUTOMATION
Even absent a mandated electronic visit verification solution, the sluggish, labor-intensive process of entering data manually, paired with the guesswork in-home visits, can cost agencies time and money. This leads to placing your Medicaid reimbursements at risk, which in turn increases the probability of fraud and other obstacles to agency growth and profitability.
Alora Home Health Software for Wisconsin makes EVV simple for both administrators and caregivers. With a fully integrated electronic visit verification system integrated inside your agency EMR, all of the data of your visits from the moment the caregiver arrives at a patient’s home through the time they depart, is captured. Once pressing “Start Visit” on their mobile device, all your caregivers have to do is focus on patient care.
Comparatively, trying to manage visits with a standalone EVV system that lacks homecare software integration, is a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Without two-way data flow and verification of client’s Medicaid ID, agency name, caregiver and patient electronic signatures, or details of the exact services being provided, your agency’s compliance and reimbursements are at risk. Mistakes are costly, frustrating administrators and caregivers, and possibly delaying or compromising patient care.

WHAT IS THE START DATE FOR WISCONSIN EVV?
Wisconsin Electronic visit verification had an original soft launch date of September 1, 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wisconsin Department of Health services officially delayed the start of training as well as the soft launch date requirement to use EVV for personal care services. The new soft launch implementation date was November 2, 2020, as the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) implemented the soft launch phase of electronic visit verification (EVV) for Medicaid-covered personal care and supportive home care services: procedure codes T1019, T1020, S5125 and S5126.*
EVV in Wisconsin is still on course to be rolled out in two phases, beginning with the soft launch, followed by a hard launch. When the hard launch begins, DHS will require personal care services claims to include all required EVV information, or they risk claim denial. The hard launch date will be announced once the soft launch has been implemented.
Agencies may elect to use a Wisconsin DHS EVV system (Sandata), or an alternate EVV system so long as such a system meets all EVV requirements set forth by the state. Sandata’s aggregator technology allows providers who use Alora (and select other systems) to continue to use their system of choice (systems will need to meet EVV & DHS aggregator requirements). Sandata aggregator will work with any Wisconsin EVV system that meets the technical requirements. Technical specification details are forthcoming from Wisconsin’s DHS.
WISCONSIN EVV REQUIREMENTS
In concert with the 21st Century Cures Act, Wisconsin agency requirements for EVV visits note that a system must capture:
- Patient’s name who receives the service
- Caregiver’s name who provides the service
- What care services were provided
- The location the services were provided
- The exact date of services provided
- Time in/time out of the visit
WHY EVV INTEGRATION IS BETTER
Trying to manage EVV within a separate system that sits outside of your home health software, you are stuck with the burden of having to enter & re-enter data. Manual entries take time and inherently are subject to human error, resulting in mistakes, delayed payments, and other headaches.
Alora’s Home Health Software with a built-in EVV system already holds all of the important information for each visit — including patient info, caregiver identity, agency name, and service(s) provided. The benefit to this streamlined approach, means your caregivers don’t have to re-enter information when they arrive at a patient’s house. It is as simple as pressing “Start Visit” on their mobile device using Alora EVV upon arrival. Agency office staff won’t need to manually re-enter EVV data into a stand-alone agency management software. With higher efficiency and data integrity, your agency can thrive in the new era of often mandated electronic visit verification.
