Edit Text COMPLETION OF FOLLOW-UP ASSESSMENTS
The allowable completion dates for the first and any subsequent follow-up assessments will be calculated relative to the start of care date. Follow-up assessments must be completed every 60 days that a patient is under care. Each time a follow-up assessment is due, it should be completed on or after the 56th day and on or before the 60th day of the period.

More formally, the rules can be stated as follows:

-Let j be the follow-up period number (i.e., 1=first follow-up period, 2=second follow-up period, etc.).

-Let SOC be the start of care date (M0030_START_CARE_DT).

-Let FCD be the completion date (M0090_INFO_COMPLETED_DT) of a follow-up assessment.

Given these symbols, the rule for completion of follow-up assessments is as follows:

SOC + (60*j) - 5 <= FCD <= SOC + (60*j) - 1

Where j=1, 2, 3, etc.

If a patient is under care by a home health agency during one of the follow-up windows defined above, a follow-up assessment must be submitted. An exception to this rule can occur if a patient resumes care following an inpatient stay and if the resumption of care date (M0032_ROC_DT) falls within one of the follow-up windows. In this case, the home health agency should submit an RFA 03 resumption of care (after inpatient stay) (M0100_ASSMT_REASON=[03]) instead of the normal follow-up assessment. Submission of such a resumption of care assessment fulfills the requirement for the follow-up assessment because it includes all of the data items contained in the normal follow-up assessment.
