EVV Agency Training:
The Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Rehabilitation Services (DHS/DRS) has implemented a new "Electronic Visit Verification" (EVV) system for its Home Services Program (HSP). This system will help make timekeeping for individual providers, homemakers and home health care agencies faster, easier, and more accurate. We started using the new EVV system on January 1, 2014.
