From Charlie Carr's Blog A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE ORIGIN AND POTENTIAL TRAGEDY OF ELECTRONIC VISIT VERIFICATION (EVV) 02/18/20 "During a congressional oversight committee hearing the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was asked about the $125 million pay for and how it was determined. CBO had no credible evidence to support the allegation that there was a high level of fraud, waste and abuse in the personal care service program. Based on that, the panel declared the projected "savings" as flawed and unacceptable. Since that time no substantive/credible finding of fraud in the consumer directed personal care services program has been made available by CBO yet states continue to interpret location as using GPS and biometrics in the name of program integrity. Program integrity is code for fraud, waste and abuse." Charliecarr.com
