Researcher's Summary:

Sandata EVV is a comprehensive EVV system suited to agencies of all sizes. Its three verification technologies — the mobile app, telephony and FOB — offer users flexibility and ensure compliance with the 21st Century Cures Act. Users can increase efficiency by electronically recording information on clients, caregivers and home visits and accessing that data remotely via a mobile app.

EVV-validated claims and authorization management minimize rejections and improve cash flows. It is HIPAA compliant and has stringent security measures including necessitated logins, fingerprint verification and unified passwords.

As the state-mandated EVV vendor for some states, users may find Sandata EVV subsidized and affordable. However, users report difficulties using the mobile app and occasional system lags.

Key Features

    • Mobile App Verification: Use visit timestamps and GPS locations captured via a smartphone app during client visits.
    • Telephone Visit Verification (TVV): Call a toll-free number and feed information to an automated phone system to verify visits.
    • Fixed Visit Verification (FVV): Install a fixed device at client homes that provides a six-digit code signifying the start or end of a visit. Validate codes via telephony.
  • Dashboard: Identify and manage exceptions for the current day by using alert tiles to view real-time updates on unscheduled visits, no-shows, and unknown clients and employees.
  • Client and Employee Profiles: Create and save unique client profiles using data from a payer interface or inputting details like their full name, Medicaid ID, Social Security number, emergency contact, payer information and client ID. Associate visits with employees by creating employee profiles validated by Social Security numbers.

  • Electronic Signatures: Confirm client visits using a digitally written signature or voice recording.
  • Plan of Care: Ensure proper delivery of care by creating and managing care plans with information on tasks to complete for each client within a certain time frame. Compare scheduled versus completed tasks, add comments and view services.
