Attention home health providers:
The Health Care Authority (HCA) sent a provider alert on April 21, 2023, informing providers about electronic visit verification (EVV) for home health care services (HHCS). HCA is requiring the submission of EVV data elements with each claim or encounter for service dates of January 1, 2024, or later.
However, due to implementation challenges, HCA has recently determined that claims and encounters without the EVV HHCS data elements will not be rejected or denied for service dates of January 1, 2024, or later. Instead, HCA will enter into a period of technical assistance to ensure home health providers are able to provide the necessary data elements and continue to serve the Medicaid population.
Specifics around each required data element and how to submit them were added to the EVV HHCS website in August.
Please send questions or concerns to HCA via the EVV HHCS email box: HCAEVVHomeHealth@hca.wa.gov.
