Electronic Visit Verification (EVV)
Electronic visit verification (EVV) means using the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) approved EVV system to verify the provision of any service required by ODM, pursuant to 5160-1-40 of the Administrative Code. The use of an approved EVV system is also included in Ohio Administrative Code 173-39-02.
EVV is an electronic system that verifies key information about the services provided. The system implemented by ODM records the date of the service, the time the service started and ended, the individual receiving the service, the person providing the service, and the location of the service. Both agency and non-agency providers are impacted by EVV.
More information can be found via the Ohio Department of Aging's website: https://medicaid.ohio.gov/INITIATIVES/Electronic-Visit-Verification.

EVV Provider Sessions
May 5, 2021: Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) continues to offer providers the opportunity for more personalized Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system training and an EVV account review. This is a great opportunity for providers to work one-on-one with a Sandata EVV representative to review how to use EVV or how to improve on issues related to EVV claims matching. Providers who have completed a one-on-one session have let ODM know they feel more confident in maintaining their visits. If you would like to work with an EVV Sandata representative in a one-on-one call, please visit the calendar of available dates and times to sign up: https://go.oncehub.com/ODMEVVHelp.
If you click on the link and there are no available sessions, please check back again soon. We are continuously opening up more sessions. Google Chrome is the preferred browser when accessing the calendar.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Changes in the Provider Application Process (posted 7-25-22)
Effective July 22, 2022, the Ohio Department of Aging has suspended the application process for PASSPORT and Assisted Living waiver applicants.

What is PNM?
The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is introducing a Provider Network Module (PNM), a single point of entry provider portal giving providers one front door to manage enrollment administration. The PNM module streamlines the enrollment and revalidation processes and simplifies the user experience.
When will PNM be implemented?
ODM will roll out the new PNM system for all new and existing Ohio Medicaid Providers this fall. In the coming weeks ODM will share insight into the change, provide timelines, resources, and instructions for PNM through email notifications to providers and stakeholders of the upcoming PNM implementation plan.
How does PNM impact new ODA provider applicants after the PNM go-live date?
Instead of an ODA provider starting at the ODA electronic application system, the Provider Certification Wizard (PCW), the providers will now sign in through the PNM portal, select which state agency they want to apply: ODA, DODD, or ODM. Based on the provider’s selection, the provider will be redirected to the appropriate agency’s system to complete the application process.
Provider questions?
Please use ODM’s dedicated PNM email box at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for questions related to the new PNM system. Providers may also review information on ODM’s website: https://managedcare.medicaid.ohio.gov/managed-care/centralized-credentialing/centralized-credentialing.
