Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is required by the 21st Century Cures Act passed in December 2016 for all Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) programs, which includes almost all of our programs (full list here). This federally mandated law was passed to ensure vital Medicaid funds go to the most in need and are not wasted or fraudulently obtained. Different states are at different stages of adoption, meaning some programs already require this but other programs don’t yet.
PPL has over 20 years-experience in managing self-directed programs. If your state is requiring EVV adoption, PPL designed a tailor-made app for you to easily comply with the requirements of the Cures Act.
Our goal is to allow you to report your location and the time of clock in and clock out. That is the only point in time the app tracks your location. Period.
