AveannaCare

The 21st Century CURES Act, signed into law in 2016, requires that States set up an EVV system to verify that services for all Medicaid-funded personal care and home health care services occurred. An EVV system must verify the following service components: type of service, individual receiving the service, date of the service, location of service delivery, individual providing the services, and time the service begins and ends. This does not change where and how these services are delivered.

The AveannaCare app has many benefits for both clients and care providers, including tracking of hours, viewing current authorizations, and reporting hours electronically without the need for paper. Most importantly, AveannaCare is an EVV compliant solution that meets Federal and California State regulations.

The AveannaCare app will still record your “clock in” and “clock out” if you lose signal. When the signal has been restored, simply login and the app will sync your data.

The app uses GPS to record the location at the start and at the end of the shift. The app does not track location before a shift, during a shift, or after a shift has ended.

The system will send automated email notifications when a punch entry is created and is awaiting client sign off, when a punch entry has been signed off by the client, and when a punch entry is rejected.

No, if you used your Client PIN at clock in on the app you must also clock out on the app with your Client PIN. You must use the same method for clock in and clock out for a shift.

The Care Provider should login to aveanna.dcisoftware.com and “Add New Entry.” You will then need to login to your own profile and navigate to “Entries Requiring Signoff” to view “Pending” entries. You will then sign off on the entry.

The Care Provider should clock out as soon as they realize they forgot. They can reject the punch or have you reject the punch. The Care Provider will then visit aveanna.dcisoftware.com and “Add New Entry” (See guides under “WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE CARE PROVIDER FORGOT TO CLOCK IN?” FAQ). You will need to perform EVV signoff by logging into your own profile and navigating to “Entries Requiring Sign Off” to view “Pending” entries.

If “Portal Signoff” was selected as the verification method in the app, the punch entry line will have a status of “Pending” and “Portal Sign Off” will be “No” under the “Entries” tab. Once a client/family member has approved the punch, “Portal Sign Off” will be “Yes” and no further action is required. It will change to an “Approved” status within a couple of hours.

Please see guide below:

An entry will have this status because the system is validating that the entry meets all the rules before changing to a “pending” status. If the punch is “rejected” instead of “pending,” check your messages in the AveannaCare app or the Business Rules tab for the entry in the AveannaCare web portal to find out why. Common rejection reasons are: It may be an existing punch for that date and time was already created, it exceeded the daily/weekly/monthly approved amount, or for other reasons.

You and your client/family will determine how many hours you can work. Clients/families can view their authorizations and available balances on the AveannaCare portal and will schedule you accordingly. Clients/families can refer to the “HOW DO I TRACK HOURS AND VIEW AUTHORIZATIONS?” FAQ for a guide on how to check authorizations and balances.

Group services are when you provide a service to 2 (two) clients (usually siblings) in the same home at the same time. You can punch for these services using the guide below:

Punching for Group Services | en Español 

Common reasons for clock in/out issues are: an existing punch for that date and time was already created, it exceeds the daily/weekly/monthly approved amount, or for other reasons. Confirm this information and contact Aveanna for support and record the error message/screenshot for reference if it continues. Contact information can be found here.

The system will split the shift at midnight, resulting in one shift for each date. (For example; 8:00pm – 11:59pm / 12:00am – 8:00am)

To review system notifications regarding rejected punches, simply click on the envelope at the top right of the dashboard (same for both app & portal). Care Providers can see all entries, including rejected punches, by selecting “menu” and then “entries”. You can review the reason for the rejected punch via the messaging module.

Rejections are usually related to the remaining authorized hours. We encourage you to speak to your client/family to confirm the hours you can work. Clients/families can refer to the “HOW DO I TRACK HOURS AND VIEW AUTHORIZATIONS?” FAQ for guides on how to check authorizations and balances. Contact the office for support if needed. Contact information can be found here.

If the client has not approved the hours, they can reject them in the AveannaCare web portal under the “ENTRIES REQUIRING SIGN OFF” tab and the hours can be re-entered under the correct service code in the AveannaCare web portal.
