Which statement describes the requirement for reporting service hours using electronic visit verification (EVV) for homecare workers?

• A. Accurately report service hours using electronic visit verification system on daily basis.
• B. Turn in verified EVV Reports of each month.
• C. Use gloves and mask for protection of both participants and Homecare Aide.
• D. Attend all of the required homecare trainings.

Answer: (A)

Electronic visit verification is used to document each home care visit as it happens, showing who is delivering the service and for how long. The requirement is to accurately report service hours using the EVV system on a daily basis. Recording hours daily ensures the data reflect actual visits, supports correct payroll and billing, and keeps records compliant with program rules. Submitting EVV reports monthly would miss or misrepresent day-to-day variations and is not how EVV is intended to function. The other options touch on safety PPE or training, which are important but separate from how hours are reported in EVV.
