For dates of service beginning on January 1, 2023, claims without a verified matching EVV record will pend for up to 30 days and then deny if no verified EVV record is found.

Getting Started

Visit our EVV webpage to learn about system set up, service codes that require EVV visit records, implementation tips, frequently asked questions, and more.

Maine has an open EVV system platform that allows providers to utilize the State-offered EVV system or their own EVV system to connect with MIHMS.

To begin using the State EVV System, please follow the instructions in the EVV System Set-Up Options section of the  EVV webpage. If you have not yet logged into the State EVV System, your account may require a password reset. Please contact Provider Services for assistance at 1-866-690-5585, option 3.

To begin using an Alternate or 3rd Party EVV system please review the Alternate EVV Systems document.

The process for integrating an Alternate or 3rd Party EVV system is dependent on how long the provider and/or vendor takes to complete their steps. The minimum time to complete the alternate system integration process is eight weeks. Therefore, if you are planning to utilize an Alternate or 3rd Party EVV system, we encourage you to use the State EVV system until you have completed the Alternate EVV System integration process.

EVV Sandata Town Halls, Trainings, and Forums

We are offering provider and 3rd party (aggregator) trainings, forums, and Town Hall events. Currently all trainings are online via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. These events and previous event recordings can be found in the Event Calendar on the Health PAS Online Portal. 

Register through Absorb

You can see previous event recordings and register for upcoming courses through the Absorb training platform. The Absorb training system allows providers to register for trainings and forums more than once. If this is your first time using the Absorb training platform, go to the Absorb training site and follow the instructions to create your login credentials.
