What is Electronic Visit Verification?
Electronic Visit Verification or EVV is a technology used to confirm that a service actually occurred.
All non live-in workers providing the following services to self-directed participants are required to submit time via EVV:
- IRIS self-directed personal care per 15 minutes (T1019, SDPC)
- Routine supportive home care per 15 minutes (S5125, SHC)
- Routine supportive home care per day (S5126, SHC)
Do I Need to Use EVV?
If your participant-hired workers do not live with you, then yes, your workers are required to use EVV.
EVV is an important tool to protect self-directed programs and the participants they serve.
All non live-in workers providing the following services are required to submit time via EVV:
- IRIS self-directed personal care per 15 minutes (T1019, SDPC)
- Routine supportive home care per 15 minutes (S5125, SHC)
- Routine supportive home care per day (S5126, SHC)
For a complete list of activity codes that should be used when submitting Time Cards, please check the full list of Service Codes.
Failure to use EVV may result in consequences for the participant such as having to find a new worker or termination from the program.
To prevent having to find a new worker or being terminated from the program, participants are required to make sure that each non live-in participant-hired worker uses EVV for each check in and check out.
Knowing how to use EVV is the first step. Take action today!

EVV Usage
Telephony
- How to Use Telephony
- Telephony uses a registered landline from the participant’s home address to confirm the location of services.
- The number you call from must be registered to successfully log your time entries.
- To register multiple landlines, the participant will need to contact us.
EVV Validator
PremierFMS is pleased to announce the availability of a new time reporting device: the EVV validator.
What is a validator?
A validator is a small, fixed device that participants can attach to their wall for direct care professionals to use when clocking in for a shift. This supports EVV compliance even if the participant does not have a landline and the DCP does not have a smartphone.
How do I get a validator?
To qualify for a validator, participants must not have a landline to use for telephony and the worker must not have a smartphone to the CareTime mobile app.
For more information and to see if you qualify for a validator, use one of the options:
- Submit a request online by clicking here. A member of our EVV team will contact you within three business days.
- Call PremierFMS at 855.224.5810 and select option 4 to speak with a member of our EVV team.
