Required for: All Team Members with clients that have Medicaid or Managed Care Plans

What to Do: Understand the EVV system, its operation, and when it's required. Report any issues with clocking in, codes, unauthorized visits, or unknown recipients to the Office Team immediately.

How to Comply:

1. Clock or call in for every visit at your scheduled time
• If you see the same person twice in one day, clock in and out for each visit. 
2. Enter the correct visit code for the shift
3. Clock or call out for each visit on time
4. Call to report problems to PHCS Office immediately.
• We are here to help, but we need to know about problems directly. Writing them on the work report does not resolve them.
