Georgia EVV requirements for home care agencies

The open vendor model

Georgia does not force agencies to use a single state-provided EVV app. Instead, agencies may select a third-party EVV vendor — like Clovina Health — as long as that vendor is registered and the data meets the state's format and transmission rules.

• Agency chooses its EVV vendor
• Vendor must register with the state aggregator (Netsmart)
• Visit data must include the six federal EVV data elements
• Submissions must align with GAMMIS authorization and provider records

The six required EVV data elements

Every Medicaid-paid personal care and home health visit must electronically capture:

• Type of service performed
• Individual receiving the service
• Date of the service
• Location of service delivery
• Individual providing the service
• Time the service begins and ends

Netsmart data integration and attestation

Georgia uses Netsmart as its EVV aggregator. A third-party vendor must complete registration, pass data-format certification, and maintain an active attestation that its system transmits accurate visit records. Each agency still needs its own Georgia Medicaid provider ID and GAMMIS authorization records.

• Vendor registration with Netsmart
• Data-format certification and test submissions
• Signed attestation of accuracy
• Agency-specific provider ID and service authorization in GAMMIS

How Clovina Health supports Georgia agencies

Clovina captures GPS clock-in/out, checks the location against the client address, and flags exceptions for review. Verified visits can be exported as Netsmart-ready CSV files with the canonical EVV columns, reason codes, and caregiver identifiers your state submission expects.
