Good Afternoon Members!

 

The Ohio Department of Medicaid hosted their monthly EVV Stakeholder meeting yesterday afternoon. The slides from the meeting are attached.

 

I suggest reviewing slides 3-5, 7-11, and 17-22.

 

Slide 3 includes information on the email communication process between your agency and Sandata. To have email communication with Sandata, you must communicate through the eTRAC portal. There appears to be some confusion about how to begin communicating in the eTRAC portal, so if you are having trouble with this, contact the EVV Sandata Provider Hotline at (855) 805-3505. They should be able to help walk you through this.

 

Slide 7-11 dispels some popular EVV myths.

 

Slide 17-22 goes over a recent analysis completed by ODM on projected claim denials in Phase 1 services from January to March. The analysis looks at nearly 1,000,000 claims during that period. Please note that Phase 1 claims without a matching EVV visit are currently being paid but will be eventually be denied. During this period, had claims denials been effective, 57% of claims for Phase 1 services would have been paid and 35% of claims would have been denied because of issues with EVV visits.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions!

 

Have a great day,

 

Christine
