Applies to: Providers using LaSRS EVV

Effective December 1, 2023, all non-EVV services (manual entries/edits without an EVV clock-in/clock-out) require the provider to indicate the location of service delivery ("home" or "other") in LaSRS, and providers must instruct direct support workers to document their location when services are not reported through EVV.
