The Indiana Health Coverage Programs (IHCP) delivers self-paced training on the state’s electronic visit verification (EVV) system, Sandata.
Note: For providers planning to use an alternate EVV system, instead the state-sponsored one, the IHCP also offers self-paced training on the Aggregator — which all IHCP EVV systems must feed data into. For training on the alternate EVV systems themselves, providers must make arrangements with the vendor for their chosen system.
Sandata EVV Self-Paced Training and Train-the-Trainer Approach
At least one employee from each agency (service location) that will be using the state-sponsored EVV system, Sandata Portal, must complete a self-paced training through the learning management system (LMS), Sandata Learn. After completing the training, that employee may train other staff members within the agency on how to use the EVV system.
The individual whose address is on file with the IHCP provider enrollment profile for a given service location is considered the administrator of the Sandata Portal for that location. For agencies with multiple locations, each IHCP-enrolled location has a separate agency ID for the Sandata Portal.
Providers will not receive their Sandata EVV Portal Welcome Kits until a representative from their agency (service location) completes the self-paced training provided by Sandata. The training and instructions can be accessed at IN FSSA Sandata EVV Training. After the training is completed, a copy of the Certificate of Completion, along with the IHCP Provider ID for the provider location, must be emailed to inxixevv@gainwelltechnologies.com to receive the Welcome Kit.
