Attention Home Health Service Providers: Tomorrow, July 1, 2022 EVV Soft Launch Implementation

Jun 30, 2022

This message is another reminder about the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) “soft launch” period for providers of section 40 Home Health and section 43 Hospice services ahead of the January 1, 2023 federal implementation deadline that was originally announced August 13, 2021.

The soft launch period for Home Health services will start July 1, 2022. Starting this date, Home Health claims with dates of service July 1, 2022 or later will pend for up to three days while searching for a matching EVV record and then process to pay unless denied for another reason. Please see our e-message from June 9, 2022 for a table that explains the three day pend process.

The June 9th message also has more information about the soft launch period for Hospice services.
