Switching from Sandata EVV to Alt EVV for Ohio Department of Medicaid Independent Providers

ODM Independent Providers now have the option to use an Alternate EVV (Alt EVV) vendor instead of Sandata EVV. This article outlines the steps for both new and existing providers to register for Alt EVV.

Existing Providers

If you are already registered as an ODM Independent Provider, you can choose to switch to an Alt EVV Vendor. You will need to use the Sandata EVV Self-Registration Portal to request an Alt EVV account and identify the Alt EVV vendor who will submit your EVV data to the new EVV account. Note: If you are self-directed, the Fiscal Management Service (FMS) is your designated alternate EVV. Mo action is needed.

New Providers

New Independent Providers that have not yet registered for EVV must first register as a Provider in the Sandata EVV Self-Registration Portal.

Once registered as an independent provider, you will need to register a second time to identify the Alt EVV vendor responsible for transmitting your EVV data to the new EVV account.

Switching to an Alt EVV Vendor

After completing the steps above based on your current ODM provider status:

1. Navigate to Sandata EVV Self-Registration Portal page.

   https://evv-registration.sandata.com/

2. Select Register as a Provider.

   

3. Select EVV Program Ohio Department of Medicaid. Enter your Provider Medicaid ID and Employee Identification Number or Tax Identification Number (EIN/TIN). Click on Register.

If the system finds you as a registered Sandata EVV Independent Provider, a Confirm Switch message displays: “It looks like your provider organization is already registered with a Sandata EVV account. If you would like to register to use an Alternate EVV vendor, please click the ‘Switch to Alt EVV’ button below.”

4. If you are certain you want to switch, select Switch to Alt EVV.

5. On the next screen, you will see the registration form prefilled with your provider information in read only mode.
   • Check that your email address is correct and select Verify Email. This will send a code to your email address on file.
   • Enter the Security code in the field and select Verify Code.

6. In the Additional Information section, designate your Vendor choice.

7. Select Submit.
8. You will receive a message stating that your account has been successfully switched from Sandata EVV to Alt EVV.
