Statement of Necessity The Division of Medical Services (DMS) updates Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) rules to align with requirements in the 21st Century Cures Act. EVV is provided for in-home personal care, attendant care, respite care, and home health services. The updates clarify expectations for the use of EVV, remove ambiguous language, and provide specific EVV provider requirements. As part of the updates, DMS removes the provider application requirement to submit a copy of a W-9 tax form. Instead, DMS adds the requirement to submit a National Provider Identifier (if applicable) for health care providers as defined in 45 CFR § 160.103. New forms will capture information necessary to attest to EVV requirements.
A public hearing was held on this rule on April 29, 2026. The public comment period expired on May 18, 2026. The agency indicated that it received no public comments.
