Sandata API
A real-time EVV REST API exists, but it serves states and EVV vendors under contract, not a public program. Specs are distributed as state-specific PDF user guides, auth is Basic, and batches cap at 5,000 records. No developer portal, self-serve signup, or SDKs.
Frequently asked questions
Sandata scores F on the API Report Card. A real-time EVV REST API exists, but it serves states and EVV vendors under contract, not a public program. Specs are distributed as state-specific PDF user guides, auth is Basic, and batches cap at 5,000 records. No developer portal, self-serve signup, or SDKs.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Sandata is a homecare-ecosystem software provider best known for pioneering Electronic Visit Verification (EVV).
Healthcare / EHR (Homecare), Typically for home-care and I/DD agencies, caregivers, MCOs, and state Medicaid programs needing EVV compliance and agency management. Caregivers clock in/out via the mobile app to verify visits; agencies manage scheduling, billing/claims, payroll, and compliance; states/MCOs receive EVV data through Sandata's aggregator for Medicaid reimbursement and fraud detection.
Invented EVV ~40 years ago; holds 20+ state Medicaid EVV aggregator contracts and is the most-implemented EVV vendor. HITRUST/SOC compliant. Recently acquired by HHAeXchange, consolidating it among the dominant homecare platforms.
Yes, Visit verification records, caregiver/patient schedules, billing/claims, and Medicaid reimbursement data. This is the financial and compliance system of record for homecare agencies and state programs.
~40+ years old (EVV pioneered 1994; company older). Legacy architecture reflected in 'DOS-feel' UX complaints; modernizing via the Fuse platform. Acquired by HHAeXchange.
API access/specs are per-state, contract-gated PDFs rather than a self-serve portal. Third-party EVV integrations (e.g. Axxess) require state/Sandata-specific setup. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include HHAeXchange (parent), Axxess, CareSmartz360, Tellus / Netsmart, AlayaCare. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Sandata API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Sandata data. See the Sandata integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/sandata-api.
