# EVV (Electronic Visit Verification)

A term used when buying home care agency.

The Medicaid-required record of when, where and by whom a home-care visit happened.

It is a billing mandate, not a convenience, and an agency out of compliance faces denied claims and [clawbacks](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/clawback) on money it has already spent. Verify the system works and that its records reconcile to the hours actually billed, on a sample you choose rather than one the seller prepares. Where the two do not match, you have found either a training problem or a revenue figure that does not survive an audit, and both belong in the price.
