INITIAL REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS |
The proposed rule will have an effect on small businesses, as defined under s. 227.114. There are about 2,200 providers providing in-home personal care and home health services across the state. The state provides an EVV system and comprehensive training to all provider agencies and workers at no cost. Additionally, the department’s EVV Customer Care team is offering personalized support for all administrators and workers at any step of the EVV process at no charge. Administrative costs related to change management are anticipated but indeterminable. An agency may choose to purchase an alternate EVV system and would incur additional costs for the alternate EVV system. An agency that opts to use an alternative EVV system may incur costs for training staff to use the alternate EVV system and the cost of additional technology for staff to use the alternate system, as applicable. |
