Electronic Visit Verification Launch Date Set

On November 2, 2020 the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will implement the soft launch phase of electronic visit verification (EVV) for Medicaid-covered personal care and supportive home care services: procedure codes T1019, T1020, S5125 and S5126.*

DHS is committed to working with all stakeholders to integrate EVV while maintaining services and ensuring needed care is delivered. DHS will not deny claims or disregard submitted encounters without EVV data during the soft launch.

This soft launch phase will integrate EVV into the visit and claims process, and prepare for the hard launch phase of EVV. The date for hard launch of the EVV program in Wisconsin has not been set.

Visit the EVV website for more information.

*Beginning January 1, 2021, EVV will be required in the IRIS program for procedure codes S5125 and S5126.
