How this was produced
Every EVV visit was matched to the claims sent (837) and the payments received (835) by member, date and service code, then checked against authorizations, the state EVV aggregator records and payroll. The rules are fixed and repeatable; no AI is used to calculate any amount. Amounts use the contracted rates on file. The full list with source records is in the Excel workbook.
