EVV Information and Training

EVV is required

The 21st Century Cures Act is a federal mandate that requires workers providing routine supportive home care or self-directed personal care (SDPC) services to use electronic visit verification (EVV). In Wisconsin, EVV has been required since November 2020 for personal care services and required since January 2021 for routine supportive home care services.

For more information about the EVV policy for your program, please visit:

April 2023 ForwardHealth Update: https://www.forwardhealth.wi.gov/kw/pdf/2023-12.pdf

Family Care: Please check back for updates as the payment policy has not been released yet.

Follow the steps on this page to make sure you are prepared for EVV. Visit the Additional Resources and Partner Resources sections below for supplemental information that will help you be successful in implementing EVV.

Important Note: As of the hard launch date of 5/1/2023, not using EVV could affect your option to continue to self direct services that require EVV. For a contracted provider agency, their claims could be denied with no payment.

Getting Started with EVV

1. The worker will need to apply for an EVV ID which will allow them to log their EVV visits. The worker’s most up-to-date email address and residence status are required.

Please note iLIFE’s EVV Company ID is 2-91496. This is required for logging in to the mobile application.

2. Decide on which of the three EVV options will work best for the client and worker. For more information on the EVV options, click on the URLs below.

3. Look over the training materials specific to the EVV option that has been chosen. Reference guides and training videos are provided below.

Training Materials

The FVV Tracking Form is used when clocking in and out of EVV to keep track of your visit information. Do not submit this form to iLIFE. We do, however, recommend keeping it for your records.

4. Forget to log a visit or made a mistake?

    • Started an Unknown Client visit 
      • Tip: You don’t need to submit corrections if you wrote the client’s name in the memo field. 
    • Used a mobile phone to call in TVV 
      • Tip: Going forward, be sure to use the client’s landline for TVV, or register for MVV where you can submit EVV on a mobile app! 
    • If your client ordered an FVV device but it has not yet arrived 
      • Tip: Use the EVV corrections form until the FVV device arrives. Once it arrives, you can track your punch in/out codes using the FVV Tracking Form so it is easier for you to call them in within 7 days of receiving the codes. Please do not submit this form to iLIFE, however, we do recommend keeping it for your records. 
    • If you think you might have selected the wrong service code, ID, or missed any other information when punching in and out of EVV
