New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has chosen the EVV Choice Model which allows providers to select an EVV system of their choosing. The Choice Model allows providers flexibility to meet the needs of their business and the needs of the consumers they serve.
NYSDOH provides guidance to providers for selecting an EVV system. This guidance is available on the on the EVV Website, EVV System Selection Considerations.
NYSDOH must ensure that providers have met the requirements of the 21st Century Cures act, CMS Guidance, and the NYSDOH EVV Program Guidelines. NYSDOH is requiring an attestation be submitted from Providers/Fiscal Intermediaries who are subject to EVV acknowledge that:
- They are in compliance and will comply with the Cures Act
- They are complying with NYS Requirements
- They have provided and will continue to provide Caregivers and EVV Submitters training on their EVV system of choice
- They understand their obligations for submitting data to the Medicaid Management Information System, also known as eMedNY
- They understand they need to maintain records and documentation for Live-in caregivers
- They may be audited by NYS OMIG or DOH Compliance Reviews
