Summary
Three new personal attendant services (PAS) codes for Consumer Directed Services (CDS) require Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) matching beginning August 1, 2026. Claims with dates of service on or after 8/1/2026 that lack an EVV visit match will be denied payment. This affects FMSAs and CDS employers billing through the Claims Management System Long-term Care Fee-For-Service section.
Action Required
By July 31, 2026: Billing team must configure the billing system to require EVV visit matching for HCPCS codes G0718 (Primary Home Care PAS Level 1), G0747 (Family Care Agency Admin PAS), and G0750 (Community Attendant Services PAS Agency) for all claims with dates of service on or after August 1, 2026. Ensure EVV verification is linked in the Claims Management System LTC FFS section before the effective date. Update billing workflows and staff training to verify EVV matches are present before claim submission. Claims submitted without EVV match documentation will be automatically denied. Contact HHSC EVV Operations with questions about the new services or implementation.
