Medicare and Medicaid programs; mandatory use, collection, encoding, and transmission of Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) for home health agencies. Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS. Notice
Abstract:This notice announces to home health agencies (HHAs), State survey agencies, Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, software vendors, and the general public changes to and effective dates for OASIS implementation. This notice announces the effective dates for the mandatory use, collection, encoding, and transmission of OASIS data for all Medicare/Medicaid patients receiving skilled services. For non-Medicare/non-Medicaid patients receiving skilled services, there will be no encoding and transmission until further notice, but HHAs must conduct comprehensive assessments and updates at the required time points. For patients receiving personal care only services, regardless of payor source, we are delaying the requirements regarding OASIS use, collection, encoding, and transmission until further notice. We expect to begin implementation of OASIS for non-Medicare/non-Medicaid patients receiving skilled care and for patients receiving personal care only services in the Spring of 2000. A separate Federal Register notice will be published with instructions at that time. In addition, software changes described at the end of this notice are of interest to software vendors and HHAs. Also, a companion notice concerning the OASIS System of Records (SOR) is published elsewhere in this Federal Register and is available via the HCFA Internet site (http://www.hcfa.gov).
