Important Reminders

EVV Visit Key Needed: Workers are required to check in/out using an EVV system at the start and the end of each visit. Claims without an EVV Visit Key will be denied. The EVV Flyers above provide further details regarding the EVV Visit Key.

No Date Span Billing: Claims for the related services must be submitted separately for each date of service. Claims submitted using date span billing will be denied. The WPS EVV Provider Billing Facts link above provides further details and helpful tips regarding claims and billing.

Date Span Example: A member received services on 14 dates in the month of May. Date span billing is when a date span of 5/1/2023–5/31/2023 is submitted for total units (days) and total charges. Instead, submit each day separately with units and charges on 14 individual claim lines.

Supports

Wisconsin EVV Customer Care is available to provide support throughout the process. Customer Care is accessible by email at vdxc.contactevv@wisconsin.gov or phone at 833-931-2035 Monday–Friday, 7 a.m.–6 p.m. CT.
