Electronic Visit Verification

New federal requirements were enacted in 2016 as part of the “21st Century Cures Act”.  The Act requires states to implement an electronic visit verification (EVV) system for personal care services delivered in the home.  Washington will delay the implementation of the EVV system so that it can be implemented at the same time as the CDE.
