What is an EVV system for home care?

An EVV system for home care is the software that captures the 7 CMS-required visit data elements (service type, recipient, date, location, provider, start time, end time) and submits or exports them to the state Medicaid aggregator. It typically pairs a caregiver mobile clock-in app with a back-office dashboard for visit-maintenance corrections and compliance reporting.

Do home care agencies need a separate EVV system?

In open-model states, no — your home care EHR can capture EVV and export to the state aggregator. In closed-model states (PA, OH, MA, FL, MS, NJ, others), the state requires you to use the state-contracted EVV vendor (Sandata, HHAeXchange, Tellus, AuthentiCare, CareBridge) for the EVV submission step regardless of your EHR. Most agencies in closed-model states use the state aggregator for EVV plus a separate EHR for scheduling, billing, and care plans.

How much does an EVV system for home care cost?

Standalone EVV runs $1-4 per visit or $5-20 per active client per month. EVV bundled with a home care EHR runs $5-25 per active client per month and is typically the better value once you also need scheduling, billing, and care plans. AveeCare bundles EVV export across all 50 states at $6 per active client per month.

Which EVV system does AveeCare use?

AveeCare ships its own EVV capture (mobile GPS clock-in) and exports to all 50 state aggregators (Sandata, HHAeXchange, Tellus, AuthentiCare, CareBridge, DataLogic). EVV is included at $6 per active client per month, no separate per-visit fee.

Quick answer

Three EVV system categories: bundled-with-EHR (best value), state aggregator (required in closed-model states), standalone EVV (only when EHR cannot export).
Closed-model states force the state-contracted vendor regardless of your EHR.
Open-model states let you use any vendor that exports the 7 CMS data elements.
Bundled EVV in your home care EHR is typically cheapest once you also need scheduling, billing, and care plans.
AveeCare bundles EVV export across all 50 states at $6 / active client / mo.
