Stuck at home no travel or out of compliance
 


Last summer Fredericksburg VA last summer, we were told the Time4care app would work anywhere, even out of state, because attendants all have unique passwords to log in. However we discovered this weekend that this information was FALSE. While attending to my son in TN Nov7-12, the attendant was NOT able to even log in to the app. She had to manually enter all hours once we returned home. The EVV requirements, therefore, seem like it is restricting community integration. This trip was for my son to participate in a relay race and visit extended family afterwords.  All of these manually entered hours apparently will be red-flagged. This is unfair to the waiver recipient as DMAS has stated that too many red flags could result in a loss of services. This does not seem to be in compliance with the Olmstead Act. And why was this misinformation put out there in the first.place? Stop evv for live ins .
