Staff time chasing EVV exceptions — 20 exceptions/day × 10 min × $25/hr =
$25,000/year.
Billing delays — a 5-day delay on $100,000/month in billing costs
$950–$1,200/month in lost float.
EVV compliance is not optional. The 21st Century Cures Act mandates EVV for
all Medicaid
personal care and home health services. Non-compliance triggers FMAP
reductions hitting
your reimbursement rate directly — 0.75% in 2026, 1% in 2027. An agency
billing
$500,000/month loses $60,000/year from that reduction alone. Managed
care
contracts are already tying renewals to EVV thresholds. It is a contract
requirement.
Staff burnout — automating exception chasing gives your team time back for
work that
actually moves the agency forward.
Conservative estimate: $30,000–$60,000/year in staff time, cleaner
claims,
and reduced EVV penalties.
Actual savings vary by agency size, staff count, call volume, and
operational complexity.
These figures are estimates based on common industry benchmarks and are
