Project Overview: The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Claims Management Division (CMD) is responsible for overseeing the Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Program.

Texas requires EVV for certain Medicaid funded home and community-based services provided through HHSC and managed care organizations (MCOs). HHSC currently contracts with Accenture Healthcare Services, LLC to deliver EVV System Management Services to support the Title XIX Texas Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) and other state and federally funded programs.
