The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is hosting an upcoming Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Overview Forum to inform providers, health plans, and other key stakeholders of the EVV solution and implementation.
Please distribute to your Home Health, Personal Care Services, and Aging Services Access Points providers associated with the following services as they will be required to use EVV:
- Personal Care services (agency) provided in a home setting
- Personal Care Attendant (PCA) services (self-directed)
- Group Adult Foster Care services (not including GAFC provided by an ALRs to its residents)

We welcome your attendance as well to gain a better understanding of how EVV will impact your providers in the coming months. Although the presentation is more targeted to explaining how the solution will work for providers, we strongly encourage that you also have a representative attend to gain a better understanding of what your network providers will need to utilize in the future. Additional town halls that will focus on the role of health plans in this process will occur later this calendar year.
