- Summary
- The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance concerning the handling of OASIS assessments to State survey agencies (SAs) and Regional office (RO) personnel involved in the initial certification of HHAs. Specifically, with the advent of the home health prospective payment system (PPS), it is imperative for the new HHA to establish a 60-day episode for its Medicare patients that is consistent with the HHA's effective date for Medicare participation.
