Welcome to the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) California Electronic Visit Verification (CalEVV) for Individual Nurse Providers (INP) or Private Duty Nursing (PDN). 

California developed the below definition for a Live-In Caregiver who is considered exempt from CalEVV requirements. ​

Definiti​on

A “Live-In Caregiver” is a caregiver who regularly remains in the recipient’s home for more than 24 hours at a time and provides any of the authorized Personal Care Services (PCS) and Home Health Care Services (HHCS).

CalEVV Policy

Note:  

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) providers

Individual WPCS and IHSS providers must comply with the IHSS EVV requirements published on the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) EVV website and submit EVV data utilizing the IHSS EVV Mobile Application, the IHSS Electronic Services Portal, or the IHSS Telephone Timesheet System. WPCS providers employed by PCS agencies must comply with EVV requirements using CalEVV. For more information and policies regarding IHSS EVV, please see the CDSS EVV website​.
