Company Overview

Tellus is an Electronic Visit Verification platform that serves as both a state-contracted EVV aggregator in select markets and an alternative EVV data capture vendor. Affiliated with Netsmart and integrated into the CareFabric ecosystem, Tellus offers agencies already on Netsmart a native EVV solution without a separate vendor relationship.

In Virginia, the Anthem MCO contracted Tellus as its EVV vendor for contracted providers — demonstrating a third positioning model: payer-contracted EVV, distinct from both state aggregation (HHAeXchange, Sandata) and agency-direct sales (Authenticare, AlayaCare).

Market Position

Tellus's Netsmart affiliation creates a natural sales path within the large Netsmart customer base. The payer-contracted role in Virginia (Anthem MCO) represents a third distribution model that could expand as Medicare Advantage plans increase interest in EVV data for home health quality monitoring.
