Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is a tracking system that requires electronic verification of when a person receives Medicaid-funded personal care or home health services. Many people with disabilities worry that EVV will violate their privacy and limit their independence. They are particularly concerned about systems that use GPS, cameras, or other intrusive tracking systems. They are concerned it could limit their ability to go out into the community and confine them to their homes. Because it does do this. It also makes it impossible to hire staff.
