  • OASIS Questions and Answers
    OASIS Coordinators' Conference Reference Manual Tab 7: OASIS Questions and Answers Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RM-429 OASIS Coordinators' Conference Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services RM-430 OASIS Coordinators' Conference CATEGORY 1 – APPLICABILITY [Q&A EDITED 09/09] Q1. To whom do the OASIS requirements apply? A1. The comprehensive assessment and OASIS data collection requirements apply to Medicare certified home health agencies (HHAs) and to Medicaid home health providers in States where those agencies are required to meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation. The comprehensive assessment requirement currently applies to all patients regardless of pay source, including Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare managed care (now known as Medicare Advantage), Medicaid managed care, and private pay/including commercial insurance. The comprehensive assessment must include OASIS items for all skilled Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare or Medicaid managed care patients with the following exceptions: patients under the age of 18, patients receiving maternity services, patients receiving only chore or housekeeping services, and patients receiving only a single visit in a quality episode. Section 704 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 temporarily suspended OASIS data collection for non-Medicare and non-Medicaid patients. OASIS requirements for patients receiving only personal care (non-skilled) services have been delayed since 1999. The transmission requirement currently applies to Medicare and Medicaid patients receiving skilled care only. Note: The Medicare PPS reimbursement system requires a PPS (HHRG/HIPPS) code to be submitted on the claim of any Medicare PPS patient under 18 or receiving maternity services. While the OASIS data set was not designed for these population types, and is not required by regulation to be collected, in these rare instances, HHAs desiring to receive payment under Medicare PPS would need to collect the data necessary to generate a HHRG/ HIPPS code.
