Illinois’ Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

Electronic visit verification (EVV) is a technology-based system that efficiently verifies home healthcare visits. It collects information by capturing time, location, and attendance of home care workers.

A federally mandated requirement, EVV reduces the likelihood of error while promoting program integrity through a practical and simple monitoring system. It is designed to promote quality services and positive outcomes for our customers.
