Company Overview

Sandata is one of the original Electronic Visit Verification providers in the United States, with roots in Medicaid data management dating to 1978. The company serves as the state-designated EVV aggregator or vendor in dozens of states — including Wisconsin, Vermont, Washington DC, Ohio (for certain MCOs), and many others — processing visit verification data for Medicaid-funded home and personal care services.

Alongside HHAeXchange, Sandata is one of the two dominant state-contracted EVV aggregators in the country. When states implement the 21st Century Cures Act EVV mandate, they typically select either HHAeXchange or Sandata as their central aggregator — making Sandata foundational infrastructure for a large portion of the U.S. Medicaid home care system.

Market Position

Sandata's state-level government contracting creates mandatory adoption in states where it operates — mirroring HHAeXchange's structural position. The competition between Sandata and HHAeXchange for new state contracts is winner-take-most, locking in the platform for years per contract cycle.
