The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256B.073, subdivision 2, to expand the list of services that require electronic visit verification (EVV). The updated definition of "service" now includes personal care assistance services, community first services and supports, home health services, and additional categories. Specifically, it adds services delivered by providers designated as "high-risk" by the commissioner, as well as any other program or service that the commissioner may designate. This change aims to enhance oversight and accountability in the delivery of human services.

In addition to the new categories, the bill clarifies that all services required to be electronically verified under the 21st Century Cures Act will continue to be included. The amendments reflect a broader approach to ensuring that various high-risk services are monitored through electronic documentation, thereby improving the quality and safety of care provided to individuals receiving these services.
