What is the importance of an Eligibility Verification Confirmation (EVC)?
AEVS accesses the most current recipient information for a specific month of eligibility. AEVS returns a 10-character EVC number after eligibility is confirmed. It is recommended that providers enter the EVC number on the claim in the field reserved for remarks. However, the EVC number is not required information for claim processing. Receipt of an EVC number does not guarantee claim payment. Providers should carefully review all information returned with an eligibility response to ensure that a recipient is eligible to receive services. An EVC number will not be issued if an individual is ineligible.
