Home care software built for North Dakota Medicaid EVV.
North Dakota routes EVV through Therap. Homecare App captures every Medicaid visit with GPS clock-in and clock-out, coded reasons and an audit trail, and its Therap connector is built to the published specification — the certification is completed with your agency as the sponsoring provider, at no cost to you.
Built for how North Dakota actually receives EVV
North Dakota agencies live inside two sets of rules: North Dakota Health and Human Services's, and Therap's. The software was built to both — the state's EVV requirements in the visit record, Therap's interface in the connector — so the agency does the work once and the aggregator gets it in its own format. Open model — Therap for traditional Medicaid, Sandata for BCBSND Medicaid Expansion.

One aggregator: Therap's third-party API
A REST API with a token
Each visit is posted as JSON to Therap's endpoint with a bearer token; Therap answers per visit. The field names follow the state's data dictionary and are configurable on the account.
Vendor approval
Therap approves the vendor and issues the base URL, token and data dictionary under a sponsoring provider; the state then lists the system as approved.
Near-real-time
States on Therap expect visits within a day; the software queues every closed visit at clock-out and sends within minutes.
North Dakota specifics
Integrate with the Therap aggregator for traditional Medicaid; BCBSND Medicaid Expansion members use a Sandata aggregator (alt-EVV town hall, January 2025). Both connectors are built.
What Therap wants, and where the app gets it
Every element the state names, the record it comes from in the app, and where it lands.

|---|---|---|
| Visit | Provider ID, recipient Medicaid ID, staff ID, service code and modifier, authorization | visits endpoint |
| Times | Start/end in UTC, capture method at each end | visits endpoint |
| Locations | Latitude/longitude at each end, or the phone for telephony; service address | visits endpoint |
| Manual entries | The state's reason code and note | visits endpoint |
| Identity | Our stable visit id and sequence, so a resend updates | visit_id / sequence |
| Verdict | Per-visit response, read back | response |

Questions North Dakota agencies ask
Do our caregivers have to use Therap's app?
No. Therap's app is the state's free option; an approved third-party system sends the same visits into the Therap aggregator. Caregivers use one app.
What does approval involve?
Therap reviews the integration, issues credentials and the data dictionary under a sponsoring provider, and the state records the approval. We do this with your agency as sponsor, at no cost to you.
Can we start before approval is done?
Yes. Everything but the send works from day one; visits queue and go the day the account is live.
Which North Dakota programs does this cover?
Personal care (QSP), home health, waivers and Medicaid Expansion — every service North Dakota Health and Human Services requires EVV for. Integrate with the Therap aggregator for traditional Medicaid; BCBSND Medicaid Expansion members use a Sandata aggregator (alt-EVV town hall, January 2025). Both connectors are built.
