21st Century CURES Act
|
|
|
The CURES Act contains a new Medicaid requirement for mandatory use of Electronic Visit Verification (EVV), which allows nurses and home health aides to check in electronically through software apps or devices and record the exact date, time and location of a visit. Agencies and states will face a financial penalty for failing to implement EVV for personal care and home health care services for Medicaid beneficiaries.
The act adds a requirement but leaves states to decide their own implementation strategies. EVV is required to be in place by 2019 for personal care services and 2023 for home health services.
