CMS Operational Readiness Review for APD iConnect EVV System
Last month, the APD iConnect team met with representatives from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services(CMS) to perform an Operational Readiness Review in anticipation of the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system launching by January 1, 2021. This review allowed APD to share information and demonstrate how the APD iConnect EVV system works.
The Readiness Review meeting was productive and successful. Rose Salinas has led this effort and coordinated with CMS. Shelia Mott demonstrated the mobile site and the back end of the system. Sriram Kommu presented the data flow across the EVV site, the APD iConnect main system, and AHCA/FMMIS. Mike Sodders discussed the ID PASS process, security measures, and how users will access the system. Steve Davis talked about the relationship between the EVV data and the claims data. Jennifer Buck with WellSky (vendor) was also present to answer questions as needed. Other staff members attended and supported the presenters. Following the meeting, CMS asked for some additional information, which APD provided.
CMS hosts this readiness review with each state and they felt the APD iConnect team was well prepared. There are no concerns that would prevent APD from moving forward with the launch. Thank you to everyone involved for their preparations and presentations to CMS!
