EVV is a system used by providers to log service hours, specifically the times in which services begin and end. You can think of it as clocking in and clocking out as you might at another job. Providers billing homemaker/personal care (15 minute unit), residential respite (15 minute unit), participant-directed homemaker/personal care, waiver nursing, and nursing delegation are required to use EVV.
