The Ohio Department of Aging has highlighted new guidance from the Ohio Department of Medicaid as PASSPORT providers prepare for the January 1, 2026 requirement that all claims for services subject to Electronic Visit Verification include a matching EVV record at submission. Claims without a corresponding record will be denied.
To support providers ahead of this change, the Ohio Department of Medicaid is offering two virtual training sessions in December that review EVV basics and outline the updated claims validation process. Session details and registration are available on the Ohio Department of Aging’s website. These trainings supplement, but do not replace, the EVV instruction required under Ohio Administrative Code 5160-32-04 for agencies and independent providers seeking a Medicaid ID number.
Providers unable to attend may access daily office hours and upcoming “Get Ready for Claims Matching” programming. Questions can be directed to InteragencyPolicy@medicaid.ohio.gov.
