Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Timeline

In addition to using EVV, Home Help providers must also continue to use their current service verification method (CHAMPS Electronic Service Verification (ESV) Paper Service Verification (PSV), or MSA-1904 Home Help Agency Invoice). Payments will continue to be based on the data recorded on the current service verification methods until further notice. Refer to the Michigan Medicaid Provider Manual, Electronic Visit Verification chapter.
