Where is the fixed object (FOB) set up?

The fixed object (FOB) setup involves assigning the device to a specific patient and physically anchoring it in their home. Assigning the FOB to a patient allows HHAeXchange to authenticate electronic visit verification (EVV) placed using the device and affixing it in the patient’s home ensures that a caregiver cannot place a fraudulent EVV.

FOB Device ID

The fixed object (FOB) Device ID is registered directly on the device (shown below). The window provides the digital code the Caregiver enters to clock in and out of the Patient’s home. This digital code changes every 30 seconds.

FOB Seal ID

The (fixed object) 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 seal ID found in the patient’s home.
