### Quick Notes

- **Telephony phone number**: 844-517-0085 (toll free) 
- In order for an employee to clock in and out via *telephony*, an *employee PIN* must be created for them. Once a *PIN *has been generated, make sure to share it with the employee!
- Visits must be schedule before an employee can clock in.
- The employee must call in from the phone number listed in the [client profile](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/view-client?hsLang=en#profile) (Non-skilled) or [patient dashboard](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/patient-dashboard-1?hsLang=en) (Skilled & PDN), which should be the same phone number that is on file for the client/patient with their payer.

### Creating an Employee PIN

When using *telephony*, an employee will need a *PIN* number to use during the call in process.

To create an *employee PIN*, in the left menu navigate to:

```
Operation > Employee > View Employee
```

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-47-37-9782-AM.png?width=426&height=254&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-47-37-9782-AM.png) |
| --- |

After locating the employee within the table that appears on this page, click on the  ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-48-54-0551-AM.png?width=24&height=29&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-48-54-0551-AM.png) to the left of their name and then the *Generate Employee PIN* button.

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-54-22-6474-AM.png?width=688&height=268&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-54-22-6474-AM.png) |
| --- |

Upon doing so, a success message will appear and the *PIN* number will be displayed.

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-59-23-4057-AM.png?width=688&height=525&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-59-23-4057-AM.png) |
| --- |

Make sure to give the *PIN* number to the employee so they can use *telephony*!

 

---

### **Viewing an Employee PIN**

Once a *PIN* number is generated, you can see it within the additional information that appears when clicking on the  ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-48-54-0551-AM.png?width=19&height=22&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-48-54-0551-AM.png) to the left of the employee's name within the *View Employees* page.

The *PIN *number will display to the right of the heading titled *Employee PIN.*

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-05-23-6499-AM.png?width=688&height=331&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-05-23-6499-AM.png) |
| --- |

### Additional Setup

In order for an employee to clock in using *telephony*, a visit must first be scheduled. To review how to schedule a visit within the *Scheduling* page, [check out our article here](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/new-scheduling?hsLang=en)!

If you'd like to allow an employee and client/patient to record their voices during the clock out process, enable the *Voice EVV* setting within your C*ompany Settings* page.

To enable the *Voice EVV* setting, in the left menu navigate to:

```
More > Company > Company Settings
```

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-22-56-0456-AM.png?width=424&height=234&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-22-56-0456-AM.png) |
| --- |

Within the *Configurations* tab, click on the ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-30-06-1835-AM.png?width=32&height=30&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-30-06-1835-AM.png) to edit your *company settings*.

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-30-36-0225-AM.png?width=332&height=92&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-30-36-0225-AM.png) |
| --- |

On the pop-up that appears, locate the field titled *Voice EVV* and check the checkbox.

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-31-28-2750-AM.png?width=162&height=102&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-31-28-2750-AM.png) |
| --- |

Then, click on the  ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-31-44-8126-AM.png?width=83&height=37&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-31-44-8126-AM.png) button to save your changes

### Clocking In Using Telephony

When it's time to clock in for a scheduled visit, the employee will need to call from the phone number listed within the *client profile* (Non-skilled) or *patient dashboard* (Skilled & PDN).   
  
**Telephony phone number**: 844-517-0085 (toll free)

Here is a diagram of the automated prompts the employee will hear:

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-20-06-2025-AM.png?width=688&height=531&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-20-06-2025-AM.png) |
| --- |

 

---

### Clocking Out Using Telephony

Once it's time to clock out, the employee will need to call from the phone number listed within the *client profile* (Non-skilled) or *patient dashboard* (Skilled & PDN).   
  
**Telephony phone number**: 844-517-0085 (toll free)

Here is a diagram of the automated prompts the employee will hear:

| **Basic Flow** | ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-25-52-7013-AM.png?width=688&height=560&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-25-52-7013-AM.png) |
| --- | --- |
| [**Voice EVV Enabled**](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/telephony#voice) | ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-30-32-4052-AM.png?width=688&height=687&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-12-30-32-4052-AM.png) |

 

---

### **Approving Telephony Visits**

Once a *telephony* visit has been clocked out of, it's time to review and approve it! To do this, in the left menu navigate to: 

```
Scheduling > Schedules Approval
```

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-35-13-5752-AM.png?width=432&height=168&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-35-13-5752-AM.png) |
| --- |

The process for reviewing and approving *telephony* visits follows the same [*schedules approval* flow](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/new-schedules-approval?hsLang=en). However, where signatures are typically displayed, if you've enabled the *Voice EVV* setting, you'll find audio players.

| ![](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-37-38-1240-AM.png?width=688&height=107&name=image-png-Dec-14-2024-01-37-38-1240-AM.png) |
| --- |

### **Missed Clock In/Out**

If an employees does not clock in or out of a scheduled visit on it's scheduled date, they will not be able to do so at a later time via *telephony*.

However, they may still be able to complete the scheduled visit after the fact by:

1. Clocking in and/or out via the *Billiyo Caregiver* app.
2. Documenting the worked time on a paper timesheet that they share with you, which you can upload via the [*manual timesheet entry* process](https://knowledge.billiyo.com/knowledge/process-timesheet?hsLang=en).

Make sure to check with DHS and the payer to verify if using a *paper (manual) timesheet* is compliant for your agency.
