Subject: temporary changes to EVV Requirements

Good afternoon.

As you may know our provider community has expressed concern about EVV during the COVID emergency.  As a result of that feedback, we are making the following changes:

• New providers to the Medicaid program will not need to complete EVV training in order to obtain a Medicaid provider agreement during the COVID emergency. 
• For ODA and ODM visits, the voice and signature verification requirement will be temporarily waived.
• Effective Tuesday, March 31, 2020, the visit verification, signature verification and service verification exceptions will be turned off for the duration of the emergency.  Exceptions that occur in the meantime do not need to be cleared. 

The attached email is being sent to all Phase 1 and Phase 2 providers, beginning this afternoon.  Please share this information as appropriate.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns
