What is EVV?
Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a technology solution that verifies the delivery of home care services. It is designed to ensure that patients receive the care they need, while also reducing fraud and abuse in the home care industry.
Florida
In Florida, home care agencies have the freedom to choose the EVV software they want, thanks to the state’s open EVV policy.
Florida is an open state for EVV, which means that home care agencies are not limited to using a specific EVV vendor. Instead, they can choose the EVV software that best meets their needs. This gives agencies the flexibility to select a solution that is user-friendly, cost-effective, and integrates with their existing systems.
Payers
Different Payers have chosen different aggregator solutions. In Florida, the EVV Aggregators are HHAEXCHANGE and NETSMART. INMYTEAM Communicates with them in a way that is transparent for the agency, and your caregivers need to use only the INMYTEAM APP.

NO, HHAEXCHANGE is not Mandatory;
NO, HHAEXCHANGE will not improve your EVV Compliance.
Unfortunately, many agencies are being locked in a 3-year contracts because sellers from other systems promise them to move to HHAexchange and their compliance will improve as well as their billing problems will disappear. This is categorically NO TRUE. Compliance improve ONLY if your caregivers clock-in and clock-out at the right location and the right time.
In conclusion, Florida’s open EVV policy gives home care agencies the freedom to choose the EVV software that best meets their needs. This is a positive development for the home care industry, as it allows agencies to select a solution that is tailored to their specific needs.
The freedom to choose an EVV solution is important for home care agencies. It allows them to select a solution that is tailored to their specific needs, rather than being forced to use a one-size-fits-all solution. This can help agencies to improve their operations, reduce costs, and provide better care to their patients.
