Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)

Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a computer-based system that electronically documents and verifies service delivery information, such as date, time, service type and location, for certain Medicaid service visits. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) determines when a program provider, Financial Management Services Agencies (FMSA) or Consumer Directed Services (CDS) employer must use EVV based on the services delivered. EVV is required for all programs and services listed in the Programs and Services Required to Use EVV .

Span Billing Guidelines

BCBSTX allows for EVV claims to be submitted with a span date. If a provider chooses to submit a claim with a span date, the provider must ensure that:

Each date within the span has one or more matching EVV visit transactions.
The total units on the EVV claim must match the combined total units of the matched EVV visit transactions.
