To:
All Home Health Providers, Services Facilitation Providers, and Managed Care Organizations Participating in the Virginia Medical Assistance Program
From:
Cheryl J. Roberts, Acting Director Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS)

The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) allows states to apply for a one-year Good Faith Extension for the implementation of Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) requirements for Home Health Care Services (HHCS).  The Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) has applied for the Good Faith Extension and now is working toward a July, 2023 implementation date for this EVV requirement. DMAS will collaborate with provider representatives and DMAS contracted vendors to develop and implement a technical specification guide to support a transition to these requirements.

If you have any questions, please send your inquiry to EVV@dmas.virignia.gov.
