Home and Community Based Services Manual
Requirement
EVV is required for the following services authorized by the Division of Senior and Disability Services (DSDS):
EVV is not required for the following services authorized by DSDS:
Neither the 21st Century Cures Act nor MO CSR 13 70-3.320 provides HCBS participants the opportunity to opt out of these requirements. Refusal to comply with EVV requirements will result in closure of authorized HCBS through DSDS. DSDS shall initiate the Adverse Action process when a participant refuses to comply with EVV requirements. Participants not utilizing EVV, but who wish to comply with EVV requirements, shall be directed to contact their HCBS provider to ensure compliance. If a participant’s provider cannot accommodate the participant’s EVV needs, a provider change shall be initiated.
Providers and/or participants identified as noncompliant with EVV requirements by Missouri Medicaid Audit and Compliance (MMAC) will be forwarded to DSDS for a provider change or closure of HCBS.
