Kansas designated AuthentiCare, operated by Fiserv, as its state-funded EVV solution at no cost to providers. Kansas initially launched under a provider-choice model allowing approved third-party vendors, but as of February–March 2025 KMAP bulletins, original claims for EVV-covered services submitted outside AuthentiCare are rejected by payors and MCOs, effectively mandating AuthentiCare for claim submission. AuthentiCare supports visit capture via smartphone app or the member's landline (telephonic/IVR), confirming telephonic backup. CMS issued a Kansas EVV Compliance Approval Letter for home health care services on January 8, 2024.
What is EVV?
Electronic Visit Verification is the federal requirement (under the 21st Century Cures Act §12006) that personal-care and home-health visits paid by Medicaid be electronically captured at the point of care — who provided the service, who received it, where, when it started, and when it ended. CMS pushed enforcement to the states, which is why the day-to-day experience varies so much.
What "state-mandated aggregator" means in Kansas
Every Medicaid-billing provider in this state must use the contracted aggregator. Visits captured in any other system have to be forwarded to the state aggregator before they can be billed.
How does Caregiver Scheduling integrate?
Caregiver Scheduling captures the six required EVV data points on every visit (caregiver, recipient, start time, end time, location, service type) with GPS-stamped clock-in and clock-out, and telephonic backup for caregivers without a smartphone. In open-model states, our visits are EVV-compliant on their own. In mandated-aggregator states, we forward verified visits to the state system on a nightly schedule so payroll and Medicaid billing stay in sync without double-entry.
