Electronic Visit Verification
About Our EVV System
In Missouri, all PCS providers were required to have fully implemented EVV systems as of January 1, 2021. Our companies clock in, out and task system is called Spectrum Teletrack Services. Each caregiver is trained with paper material, demonstration, and a personal phone test at the office site, prior to their start date.
​
Other rules that we and the state of Missouri implement:
-
You must clock in, out and record all tasks at each visit. Failure to do so renders your visits as "incomplete" and we cannot legally pay incomplete visits, it is fraudulent. If you have difficulty clocking in, out or entering tasks, I suggest setting a timer or writing a note. After 3 incomplete visits, a letter of termination is required.
-
You cannot visit a client, clock in/out, or record tasks if they are in the hospital or actively going to the hospital.
-
It is okay to work out times with your client, as long as the correct time and tasks from the careplan stated by the government of MO, are fulfilled. We at 1st Assist pride ourselves in flexibility, and understand that everyone has personal and private responsibilities.
-
You MUST clock in and out IN the clients home. You cannot clock in or out outside the front door of the clients home, down the street or in your car if you are using the app. The EVV app sends notifications to us at the office when caregivers try to clock in, out, and record tasks outside of the clients home. Doing so renders your visit as incomplete and you will not be compensated.

Common Technical Problems
We get it! Computers and phones sometimes feel like they are working against us. Listed below are some of the most common problems we come across and solutions to them! But, if you have gone through the steps and are still unable to fix the issue, give us a call, our technical team will be glad to help!
​
Unable To Download The App
1. Not enough phone storage.
On an iPhone
If you are having this problem on an iPhone, open your iPhone's Settings menu, tap General and go to iPhone Storage. You'll see a list of your apps along with how much space each app occupies and the last time you used it. Scroll through the list and try deleting apps that you haven't used in a long time. Get rid of apps you haven't used in a long time. If you are still having this issue, you may need to purchase more storage for your iPhone.
On an Android
If you are having this problem with an Android, you will also need to uninstall useless apps from Google Play Store to free up storage. To do this, tap on the hamburger icon at the top left and tap on My apps & games. Select the Installed tab and browse through the apps. Tap on the app you want to install and then on the Uninstall button. If you still are unable to download the app, you may need to eliminate cache files. Another name for cache files is "junk files", because much is useless. To clear the cache files on an android, to clear the cache files from your Android phone go to “Settings” > “Storage” > “Internal Storage” > “Cached Data” > “Delete”.
​
2. The phone is too old for the app.
On an iPhone
If your iPhone says a message similar to, “Cannot download. This app is not compatible with your device,” it may be because your iPhone and/or update is not supported by the app. First see if your iPhone software is current and up to date. Go to the Settings, then General, then click Software Update. Automatic Updates, should always be turned on. Your phone must have a sufficient amount of battery before you press Download and Install. Once the update is completed, try to download the app again. If it still does not work, it could be the iPhone itself is too old of a version to support the new software that the app requires. Unfortunately, the only fix for this would be to get a newer phone.
​
On an Android
If your Android says "Device not compatible" error message in Google Play Store when trying to download the app, you may need to clear the cache. Read above in section 1, second paragraph to learn how to clear an Androids cache. If the app will still not download after clearing the cache, turn the phone off and back on and restart the app. If it doesn't work after restarting the phone, you may need to get a newer phone.
​
