How to Verify Medicaid Eligibility Quickly for Home Care Clients
Every day that a home care agency waits on Medicaid eligibility verification is a day services are delayed and revenue stalls. For home care owners, intake coordinators, and billing staff, prolonged eligibility checks are a barrier to both quality care and financial stability.
Verifying eligibility is critical for home care agencies because it directly impacts service delivery and reimbursement. CareVoyant’s integrated home care software is designed to remove the most common obstacles by unifying verification, scheduling, authorization, and billing into one streamlined platform.
Finding the right caregiver is more than just filling a shift. It’s about building trust and continuity. Many agencies still rely on outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches that overlook personal preferences or real-time availability. This mismatch can lead to patient dissatisfaction, high caregiver turnover, and inconsistent care delivery.
Home care scheduling software makes this process easier and more accurate. By leveraging technology to manage caregiver profiles, availability, and patient preferences, agencies can streamline matching decisions and deliver truly patient-centered care, tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
In February 2025, AHCCCS announced EVV 2.0, marking a major shift in EVV compliance. With the expiration of its contract with Sandata, AHCCCS is developing an in-house EVV aggregator, set to launch on October 1, 2025.
While Arizona's EVV data aggregation is changing, CareVoyant remains ready. CareVoyant’s integrated Home Care EVV Software has passed interface testing for Sandata and meets all AHCCCS requirements outlined in the EVV Alternate Provider Review Tool.
