Deny a Shift

A shift may need to be denied if the visit was recorded in error. For example, if a Caregiver accidentally begins an EVV visit for the incorrect Consumer but completes it rather than cancel it.

 

Shifts are first denied by one party, then Locked as Denied by the other. If a visit is partially correct, then the shift can be Adjusted rather than denied.

 

Complete the following steps to deny a shift.

 

  1. Log in to the Services Portal and search for the shift. See Search Shifts for details.

  2. On the shift, click the ellipsis (…) in the Actions column to open the menu options.

  3. Select Propose Denial.

Actions: Propose Denial

Further review is required in the Services Portal, depending on who submitted the denial.

  • If the Caregiver proposed the denial, then the Consumer or Representative must review and approve.

  • If the Consumer or Representative proposed the denial, then the Caregiver must review and approve.

 

Depending on the situation, a user can:

 

  • Lock as Denied, if a user agrees with a denial and the shift should not be approved.
