Training, reporting, and penalties—what HHAs need to know.
With just weeks until the universal OASIS deadline, here are the biggest hurdles agencies face—and how to get ahead:
Many clinicians know Medicare OASIS inside-out, but non-Medicare scenarios can differ.
Tip: Schedule targeted refresher sessions on data definitions, age-specific items, and payer-specific billing codes.
You now have potentially 30–50% more patient assessments to process and submit within 30 days.
Tip: Implement batch-export workflows and automate your payer-submission pipelines.
Late or incomplete OASIS submissions incur a 2% reduction in your Medicare reimbursement—and gaps in non-Medicare data could trigger audits.
Tip: Set up real-time dashboards and daily alerts for missing or overdue assessments.
Stay proactive—don’t let July 1 catch you off guard.
