Setting up an FOB

FOB setup involves assigning the device to a specific Patient and, optionally, physically anchoring it in their home. Assigning the FOB to a Patient allows HHAX to authenticate EVV placed using the device and affixing it in the Patient’s home ensures that a Caregiver cannot place fraudulent EVV.

 

Note: Be sure to ask the Patient where to place the FOB device in the home.

 

The FOB Device

The FOB Device ID is registered directly on the device (as illustrated on the image). The window provides the digital code that the Caregiver enters to Clock-In and Out from the Patient’s home.

This digital code changes every 30 seconds.

FOB Seal ID

The FOB Seal ID is the identification number on the seal used to anchor the device in a Patient’s home. This ID is for reference purposes only allowing Agencies to run internal audits to ensure that the seal ID on file matches the one found in the Patient’s home.

 

Note: Anchoring the FOB in the Patient's home is not a requirement in the State of Texas, but under Texas EVV policy, the service provider must only use the FOB in the Patient's home.
