EVV: Clocking in and out

New York State requires every home-care visit to be electronically verified — that you were at the client's home for the time you billed. S&A uses HHAeXchange for Electronic Visit Verification (EVV). Here's how to clock in and out for every shift.

What is EVV?

The New York State Department of Health (DOH) has mandated that all agencies and all PCA/HHA/PA aides use Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) to document their services provided.

Aides must clock in at the start of every shift and out at the end. EVV confirms six things for each visit: who got care, who provided it, what service was given, where it was delivered, when it started, and when it ended.

Every clock-in and clock-out must happen from the client's home. If you forget, the visit is flagged and we have to manually reconcile it.

Three approved methods

S&A supports three ways to clock in and out. Use whichever works best for your situation. For all three, the support line is (718) 980-6100.

Method 1 — HHA Exchange Smart App

Recommended

Download and install the HHAeXchange app on your personal cell phone. After you create your account, call us at (718) 980-6100 to provide your mobile ID so HHAeXchange can link your account to S&A.

Method 2 — Patient's Home Phone

HHAeXchange keeps the current step-by-step instructions on their own site. Bookmark these — they update screenshots and workflow whenever the app changes.
