What people are saying about our enterprise solutions

My second time to implement CareVoyant , and I'm just as glad this time around as before.

I first rolled out the system with another agency back in 2012, then implemented the software again last year with my current company. I'm pleased to say it's only gotten better. Web scheduling, Electronic Visit Verification, Clinical documentation, cloud support ... all these things and more make it a very strong match for our needs.

We are moving from processes that were mostly paper-based and manual. CareVoyant has helped us automate and streamline many of our workflows and save steps that were previously tedious and time-consuming. Billing, eligibility verification, payroll processing ... these are just some of the areas that now take minutes instead of days.

Very much recommended for agencies looking for a highly configurable solution.

Michael G. Stair, President & Chief Operating Officer

Great software for Private Duty and Home Health

Our agency has been on CareVoyant since 2017. Since we have both the Home Health and Private Duty service lines, it has been difficult to find a software company that is capable in both. We do some unique things with our Private Duty side and CareVoyant is nimble to handle those changes.

They work hard to keep up with the new regulations with Medicare and most of time beat other software companies in delivering compliant software.

Our agency has been State survey deficiency free for the last 11 years. They worked hard to add enhancements so we can capture the necessary documentation that the surveyors are looking for. They also assisted us in encouraging better interdisciplinary communication in our documentation. If you do PD and Home Health, there should be part of your overall search.

Montana Home Care & EVV Compliance

Montana’s Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) program is administered by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS), which oversees the state’s Medicaid program. The EVV mandate applies to Medicaid-funded personal care and home health services and other applicable home and community-based services to ensure accurate visit documentation, improve accountability, and comply with federal requirements under the 21st Century Cures Act.

Key Montana EVV Regulations

  • Aggregator: Montana uses an EVV system powered by Netsmart as the state-designated EVV aggregator. All EVV visit data—whether captured through the state system or a third-party EVV solution—must be transmitted to the Netsmart platform for compliance and Medicaid reporting.

  • EVV Model: Montana follows an Open Model, allowing home care agencies to either use the state-provided EVV system or select an alternate EVV vendor, provided the vendor integrates with the state’s Netsmart EVV aggregator.

  • Service Types Covered: EVV is required for Medicaid-funded Personal Care Services (PCS) and Home Health Care Services (HHCS) delivered under Montana Medicaid programs. These visits must capture federally required EVV data elements such as the caregiver, service recipient, service location, date of service, and visit start and end times.

  • Implementation Deadlines:

    • Personal Care Services – January 1, 2021

    • Home Health Care Fee for Service – January 1, 2023

EVV Compliance Challenges in Montana

  1. Integration With the State EVV Aggregator

    In Montana, the Netsmart system serves as the state-designated EVV aggregator under the oversight of the DPHHS. Agencies using third-party EVV solutions must ensure proper integration and timely submission of visit data. Errors or rejected files can delay claims processing and create compliance risks.

  2. Provider Responsibility in an Open EVV Model

    Montana allows providers to select third-party EVV solutions, but agencies are responsible for ensuring their system meets state technical requirements and successfully communicates with the Netsmart aggregator. This adds operational complexity, particularly for smaller agencies managing software setup and data workflows.

  3. Strict Data Accuracy and Compliance Oversight
    DPHHS monitors EVV data closely to ensure that visit records, timestamps, caregiver details, and service codes match billing claims. Missing or inaccurate EVV documentation may lead to payment delays, claim denials, or required corrective actions, making accurate and timely data submission critical for compliance.

Montana Home Care Market Statistics

  • Growing Medicaid Home Care Demand: Montana provides home and community-based services (HCBS) to over 15,000 Medicaid beneficiaries, with demand rising as the state’s aging population increasingly chooses in-home care over institutional settings.

  • Caregiver Shortage: Montana faces a significant shortage of home health aides and direct care workers, especially in rural areas, leading to recruitment, retention, and scheduling challenges for agencies.

  • EVV Adoption & Compliance: Montana requires EVV for all Medicaid-funded personal care and home health services. Agencies can implement approved third-party EVV solutions that integrate with the state’s aggregator (Netsmart) to ensure accurate visit verification, compliance, and timely reimbursement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Montana EVV Compliance

Understanding Montana’s Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) requirements is essential for home care agencies to remain Montana Medicaid-compliant and avoid claim denials. Below are answers to frequent questions about EVV compliance in Montana.

  • Montana requires Medicaid-funded home care providers to comply with Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) as mandated by the 21st Century Cures Act. EVV implementation is overseen by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS).

    EVV systems must electronically capture:

    • Type of service performed

    • Individual receiving the service

    • Date of service

    • Location of service delivery

    • Caregiver providing the service

    • Visit start and end times

    Montana implemented EVV for personal care services and later expanded it to home health services as part of federal compliance requirements.

    • Delays in Medicaid reimbursement

    • Audits and corrective actions by DPHHS

    • Use the state-sponsored EVV system powered by Netsmart, or

    • Use an approved third-party EVV vendor that integrates with the state’s aggregator

    All EVV data must be submitted through the Netsmart EVV system for validation and claims processing. CareVoyant integrates with this system to ensure full compliance.

  • Montana DPHHS requires agencies to train caregivers on:

    • EVV system usage
