The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Claims Management Division (CMD) is responsible for overseeing the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Program. EVV is a computer-based system used to document Medicaid service delivery visits by electronically recording the precise time a service delivery visit begins and ends. Texas requires EVV for certain Medicaid funded home and community-based services provided through HHSC and managed care organizations (MCOs).
