Home Care Software with EVV Built-in

Alora’s WA DCHS approved EVV solution is integrated into Alora’s software for Washington home care agencies , capturing all of the EVV data from visits directly into your agency’s workflow.

With this integrated solution, your agency is able to:

  • Live monitor home visits, tracking delays and no-shows
  • Accelerate billing and payroll (EVV data is automatically integrated into claims processing and payroll)
  • Empower your aides – they can complete plan of care-based visit notes right from the EVV interface, swiftly check their schedules, look up client information, and communicate with your agency through secure mail

 

 

Washington Medicaid EVV System

Alora offers agencies operating in the state of Washington a compatible EVV system in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Washington State Department of  Social & Health Services and the 21st Century Cures Act. Washington Medicaid EVV information captured by Alora is seamlessly transmitted to the state’s verification system. As an all-in-one solution for Washington home care agencies that combines EVV and agency management within one system, Alora brings great efficiency and ease of use for your staff.

 

THE MAJOR UPSIDE OF EVV INTEGRATION

When you manage electronic visit verification workflow outside of your home care software, you ultimately have to re-enter data. Manual entries take time and increase the chances of costly human errors that can lead to additional work and lost revenue. Alora’s Home Care Software for Washington already has all of the information for each visit — about the client, caregiver, agency, and service provided. That means, your caregivers do not have to re-enter information when they arrive at a patient’s home.  They can simply press Start Visit on the Alora system upon arrival.  Your office staff does not need to manually reenter EVV data into your agency management software.  Your agency gets the benefit of accuracy and efficiency.

Countless Washington agencies choose Alora Home Health Care Software to make their work-life easier AND make their business run better. Alora’s comprehensive (yet incredibly easy to use) platform:

  • Is designed to handle both skilled and non-skilled home care services
  • Is a compatible system with Washington EVV requirements
  • Offers integrated on and offline charting capability
  • Monitors your compliance with Medicaid and Medicare
  • Processes all payers, including Medicaid/Waiver, Medicare, Private Insurance, etc.
  • Includes one-click electronic faxing to physicians, payers, and others

BILLING AND PAYROLL – QUICK AND ACCURATE

With EVV integrated, the electronic visit verification data captured during visits automatically flows into the full Alora system. The moment your caregiver leaves a patient’s home, Alora updates the visit data with the start and end times and marks the visit as completed. Instantly, the visit is then ready for billing and payroll. Any visits that don’t occur as planned, are flagged for manual review.

 

THRIVE WITH THE POWER OF AUTOMATED  HOMECARE SOFTWARE WORKFLOW

Alora’s automated workflow elevates your agency’s efficiency to an entirely new level. Compared with an agency that uses an alternative solution, your staff would have to navigate spending endless manual hours copying EVV data from another software into your system, just to ensure accurate billing. Agencies lose time and money with inefficiency that can never be recouped, not to mention the possibility of errors that require even more time to be corrected, causing frustration and putting your Medicaid reimbursement at risk.

 

ELECTRONIC VISIT VERIFICATION MADE EASY

Alora makes work life easier for your caregivers. With Alora, Simple is power. That power starts with the simple act of your caregiver pressing the “START VISIT” button on their smartphone or tablet from a patient’s home.

The convenience of fully integrated EVV within Alora Home Health Software‘s whole agency management system is that Alora has already populated all the relevant data for a scheduled visit when your caregiver arrives at the patient’s home…allowing the caregiver to focus solely on patient care. In comparison with a separate Washington EVV solution that stores no prior data regarding the visit taking place, the advantage of Alora is clear.

With a separate system, there is no information on the patient’s Medicaid ID, the agency name, the caregiver’s information, or the tasks to be performed for the client. This places an undue burden on the caregiver to accurately enter all of this information when they get to the patient’s home. Unnecessary time consumption, human error, transmission mistakes, all of the variables that can frustrate your staff and prove costly to the agency, synergize into a result that complicates the billing and confirmation process and obstructs delivering focused care for the patient. With Alora, complexity fades, creating a win/win for your staff and your patients.

 

CARE PLAN BASED VISIT NOTES FOR YOUR AIDES AND NURSES

 

Did your caregiver perform all of the tasks that were required within the plan of care? No need to worry about the answer as Alora generates patient-specific visit notes derived directly from the POC. Your home health aides and nurses can perform the required documentation directly inside the Alora EVV interface – simplifying their workflow.

How can we help you?

EMPOWER YOUR AIDES AND NURSES

Alora empowers aides with software that not only captures electronic visit verification but also allows them to check their schedules, pull up client information, complete plan of care based visit notes, and communicate with the agency through secure mail with text notifications, all from the convenience of, of their mobile device of choice.

For your agency’s caregivers and nurses, Alora is very nurse-friendly home health software. Aside from capturing EVV data, nurses can complete visit notes and assessments right at the patient’s home while having access to the important clinical information necessary to complete their duties. Alora’s EVV component grants nurses quick access to skilled nursing visit notes and OASIS assessments ensuring that the entire process of patient care is straightforward and simplified.

TELEPHONY

Don’t have Internet connectivity at your patient’s home, no problem! Alora also offers an integrated telephony solution as a backup to the GPS-based EVV software. If your caregiver is at the patient’s home with no Internet connectivity, they can simply use the telephony solution to capture EVV.

Washington Medicaid EVV Information

When did EVV start in Washington?

The official implementation in the state of Washington was January 1, 2024. More broadly, in 2016, Section 12006 of the 21st Century Cures Act established a requirement for all states to use an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system. Medicaid home health care services (HHCS) and personal care services initially were instructed to begin using EVV by January 1, 2023.

What data does an approved EVV system have to report?

At a minimum, a compatible EVV system must electronically verify:

  • The type of service performed;
  • The individual receiving the service;
  • The individual providing the service;
  • The date the service was provided;
  • The location of service delivery; and
  • The time the service begins and ends

 

What EVV system can I use?

 

Washington is operating under a model called the “Provider Choice Model,” (similar to the open model in other states). This means that agency providers are free to select their own EVV systems. The state of Washington will not mandate a specific system or aggregator for agencies to use, and will not sanction any provider solution over another. Home Care Agencies are free to select the EVV system solution that works best for the agency’s needs, providing that the state’s EVV submission requirements are met.
 

Alora is a compatible EVV solution for Washington.
