Implementation date was January 1, 2021.
This page gives DD-specific information about the Therap EVV module. Therap is integrated as the third-party vendor for DD providers and complies to all EVV requirements. The EVV module is for providers of services under the Comprehensive Developmental Disabilities (CDD) Waiver and the Developmental Disabilities Adult Day (DDAD) Waiver.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is pausing planned changes to the federally required Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) System for Nebraska Medicaid Personal Assistance Services (PAS) and Home and Community-Based Service (HCBS) providers, previously planned for August 14, 2024.
DHHS appreciates the dedication of caregivers who support Nebraskan citizens most in need. While the changes to the EVV system are required to enforce compliance with federal regulations (21st Century Cures Act), the Department has listened to concerns and is providing more time for implementation, working with all stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition. The new implementation date will be January 8, 2025.
DHHS is planning additional future training and outreach and will update this page as those are scheduled. To stay up to date on these changes and future stakeholder engagement, please subscribe to this page for updates.
During this pause, providers are encouraged to comply with state and federal regulations including those that will be enforced by the upcoming changes.
Prior to this pause, Nebraska Medicaid and Netsmart hosted virtual townhalls and forums for providers. Additional townhalls will be scheduled for a later date.
Meetings will be recorded for future reference and can be found here for Netsmart and here for Therap.
