Abstract: This collection entails an electronic, web-based survey that will allow states to self-report their progress in implementing electronic visit verification (EVV) for personal care services (PCS) and home health care services (HHCS), as required by section 1903(l) of the Social Security Act. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will use the survey data to assess states’ compliance with section 1903(l) of the Act and levy FMAP reductions where necessary as required by 1903(l) of the Act. Data collection will begin in November 2019 and will end when all states have fully implemented EVV systems according to the requirements specified at section 1903(l) of the Act.

Short Statement: Burden estimates for states are reduced from $33,970 to $18,608. The estimate is reduced because all states and territories have completed their initial survey response for PCS. In addition, fewer survey updates are estimated because 75 percent of states are fully compliant for PCS and are no longer required to update the survey to report their compliance status.
