IDD agency software for Ohio DODD providers.

Software for an Ohio IDD agency has to speak DODD: OhioISP goals, unusual and major unusual incidents under OAC 5123-17-02, eMBS claims, county-board rates and electronic visit verification through Sandata. This page explains what that means in practice, compares the vendors Ohio providers evaluate most, and links to the full comparison for each.

Last reviewed · Enmantle team

IDD agency software for Ohio DODD providers is software that runs the agency the way Ohio's rules are written: ISP goals in the OhioISP format, UI and MUI incidents with the deadlines OAC 5123-17-02 sets, claims in DODD's eMBS format at county-board rates, and EVV submitted to Sandata. Enmantle does all of it in one login; this page compares it with Brittco, Therap, Giv and SETWorks on the vendors' own documentation.

What "Ohio-specific" means in practice

Most IDD software is national. It tracks goals, logs incidents, schedules staff and bills Medicaid, and it does those things in a generic shape that each state's rules are then mapped onto by hand. In Ohio, the mapping is where the hours go, because the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) has its own vocabulary and its own deadlines.

OhioISP goals. Every person served under an Ohio waiver has an individual service plan in the state's OhioISP format, and the county board's service and support administrator (SSA) reviews progress against its outcomes. Software that understands the plan reads the goals out of the ISP PDF, puts them in front of the direct support professional (DSP) at the moment of the shift note, and keeps the scores where an SSA or a compliance reviewer can find them.

UI and MUI incidents. Ohio Administrative Code 5123-17-02 defines unusual incidents (UIs) and major unusual incidents (MUIs), the categories an MUI falls into, and the clock: an MUI is reported immediately to the agency's designated person and the county board, the written incident report is filed by 3 p.m. on the next working day, the most serious categories carry a four-hour notification clock, and the provider keeps a UI log for review. Software built for Ohio classifies the incident at capture, calculates every deadline from the discovery date, and produces the report and the annual MUI analysis the rule expects.

eMBS billing and county-board rates. DODD providers bill through the electronic Medicaid Billing System (eMBS) in a flat-file format, using service codes and rates that depend on the service, the county board and the person's plan. Software that speaks eMBS keeps cost centers, rate tables and the service-code crosswalk together, generates the file, checks it before submission, and imports DODD's remittance to reconcile what was paid.

EVV through Sandata. Ohio Medicaid requires electronic visit verification for the home-based services most DODD providers deliver, under OAC 5160-1-40, and the state's aggregator is Sandata. A provider can use Sandata's own tools or an alternate EVV vendor certified by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM); the certified list is published by ODM. Enmantle is a DODD-approved alternate EVV vendor and submits directly to Sandata, so the DSP's GPS-stamped clock-in is the EVV record and the billing row at once.

County boards. Ohio's 88 county boards of developmental disabilities authorize services, review plans and receive incident reports. Software that knows which county a home sits in, and which board's rates apply, saves an agency from keeping that in a spreadsheet next to the billing system.

The vendors Ohio providers evaluate

Four vendors come up in almost every Ohio IDD evaluation alongside Enmantle. Each has an Ohio story, and each is on ODM's certified alternate EVV vendor list as of June 12, 2026.

  • Brittco is an Ohio company whose product is named after OhioISP and used by county boards as well as providers. It is strong on documentation, incident logging for ICFs and DODD billing, and it delivers mobile through the browser rather than a native app. Enmantle vs Brittco.
  • Therap is the national incumbent, in the market since 2003 by its own account, with an Ohio solutions sheet covering ISP data, GER incident reporting for MUIs and UIRs, eMBS and NMT billing and a training management system, and a published starting price. Enmantle vs Therap.
  • Giv is a newer national IDD platform with published per-client pricing, built-in scheduling, incident logging and claims validation, an Ohio state page and a native mobile app. Enmantle vs Giv.
  • SETWorks serves IDD employment, day, residential and community providers nationally, with an Ohio page describing flat-file eBilling and a case study across most of Ohio's counties; mobile is browser-based with an offline EVV mode. Enmantle vs SETWorks.

Two more vendors are compared on their own pages because they come from home care rather than IDD: AxisCare, a multi-state home-care suite with a native caregiver app, and HHAeXchange, the payer-scale EVV and homecare platform.

Read the matrix for shape rather than score. Every vendor here can track goals and log incidents; the questions that decide an Ohio evaluation are narrower. Does the goal come from the OhioISP and get scored in the shift note? Does the incident get classified as UI or MUI with the deadline calculated for you? Does the claim leave as an eMBS file at the county board's rate, and does the remittance come back to reconcile it? Does the EVV record come from the same clock-in that feeds billing? And can a DSP do all of it from a phone that may not have signal?

Who this is for

Enmantle is built for Ohio provider agencies that deliver homemaker/personal care (HPC), adult day support (ADS), non-medical transportation (NMT) and related waiver services, with a few dozen to several hundred staff across homes, day programs and community settings. The administrator and schedulers work from the web app; DSPs work from the native iPhone and Android app; billing and payroll close from the same records the DSPs created.

It is not built for county boards, for ICF facilities whose main need is a licensed-facility incident log, or for multi-state home-care businesses whose Ohio IDD work is a small share of the whole. Those agencies are better served by the vendors above, and the comparison pages say so.

How an evaluation usually goes

  1. Start with your county boards and services. List the boards you bill, the services you deliver and the rates you use. Ask each vendor to show the eMBS file for one real week, at those rates, and the remittance import for the week before.
  2. Bring one ISP. Ask the vendor to load a real OhioISP PDF and show the goals in the DSP's note. Then score a goal from a phone.
  3. File one incident. Walk through a UI and an MUI. Check who calculates the deadline, who sends the report to the board, and where the annual MUI analysis comes from.
  4. Clock in with GPS. Watch the EVV record appear, then watch it become a billing row. Ask what happens when the phone has no signal and when GPS is unavailable.
  5. Ask for the export. Ask how you get your data out, what it costs and how long it takes. The answer tells you how the vendor thinks about lock-in.

Enmantle will do all five in a 30-minute demo, mapped to your agency, and every step is documented in the Help Center so you can check the claims before you book.

§ — questions providers ask

Frequently asked questions.

What is IDD agency software for Ohio DODD providers?
IDD agency software for Ohio DODD providers runs an agency the way Ohio's rules are written: OhioISP goals, UI and MUI incidents under OAC 5123-17-02, eMBS claims at county-board rates and EVV through Sandata. Enmantle does all of it in one login. National platforms map Ohio's rules onto a generic shape by hand.
Which IDD software vendors are approved for Ohio EVV?
Enmantle is a DODD-approved alternate EVV vendor and submits directly to Sandata. The Ohio Department of Medicaid publishes the list of certified alternate EVV vendors; the June 12, 2026 list includes Brittco, Therap, Giv, SETWorks, AxisCare and HHAeXchange among others. A provider can also use Sandata's own tools instead of an alternate vendor.

Ohio EVV with Enmantle

What is the best Brittco alternative for Ohio IDD providers?
Enmantle is the Brittco alternative for providers who want scheduling, EVV, billing, payroll and learning in one login alongside ISP and incident documentation. It ships a native app for DSPs where Brittco's mobile access is browser-based. Brittco remains strong for county-board ISP documentation and ICF incident logging.

Enmantle vs Brittco

How is Enmantle different from Therap?
Enmantle is an Ohio-first platform designed from inside a working agency, with scheduling, payroll, eMBS billing and EVV to Sandata native to the same record a DSP creates on a phone. Therap is the national incumbent with an Ohio solutions sheet and a published starting price. Its scheduling is built from the mobile app, with no shift-swap workflow documented.

Enmantle vs Therap

How does Enmantle pricing work compared with the others?
Enmantle prices one tier per agency that scales with clients, staff and locations, with every module and migration included; the number is quoted in the demo, with no export fees and no lock-in. Therap and Giv publish starting prices on their sites; Brittco does not publish a pricing model, and SETWorks describes tiers by individuals served.

How Enmantle pricing works

Does Enmantle work for home-care agencies that are not IDD providers?
Enmantle is built for Ohio agencies that deliver IDD waiver services and home care together, and its billing, incident and ISP modules assume DODD's rules. A home-care-only agency, especially across several states, is usually better served by a home-care suite. The AxisCare and HHAeXchange pages explain where each fits.
