EVV Provider Forums

To support providers in their implementation of federal EVV requirements, we are holding a series of Provider Forums to answer technical questions regarding the State EVV system and Alternate EVV System Integration process. The forums are offered online, through WebEx. You can register for the forums through the Learning Management System (LMS).

EVV Forum Schedule:

• March 17, 2020      1:00 PM
• March 31, 2020      1:00 PM
• April 14, 2020        1:00 PM

Alternate EVV Forum Schedule:

Alternate EVV System Forums are scheduled for the following dates and times. We encourage providers interested in implementing an Alternate EVV System to invite their vendor partners to join the forum as well.

• March 24, 2020      1:00 PM
• April 7, 2020          1:00 PM
• April 21, 2020        1:00 PM

You can register for the forums through the Learning Management System (LMS).

Forum Provider Questions:

Providers who plan to attend the forums are highly encouraged to prepare questions in advance of the forums. Once the forum has started, questions can be submitted for review through the WebEx chat feature at any time. Instructions on how to submit questions will be reviewed during the beginning of the forum. If you wish to submit questions, please be sure to use your computer to access the WebEx chat.

IMPORTANT: During the forum, questions must be submitted,  in the following format.

• NPI
• Contact Name
• Contact Phone Number/Email Address
• Question

By including this information, State/DXC staff will be better able to follow up with answers to outstanding questions. The team will work to answer as many questions as possible during the call, but due to time constraints, some questions may need to be addressed outside of the forum. For questions that cannot be answered during the call, contact information and question(s) will be recorded, and a follow-up will be completed off-line.
