Jennifer Osburn, Clinical Consultant, answers this #QuestionOfTheWeek: Q: Do we need to complete OASIS on all of our current patients (for example Private Pay) as of 7/1/25 if they are an ongoing patient with a SOC date of 6/23/21 (like a recert OASIS)? Or only if they have a new SOC date after 7/1/25? A: The implementation of mandatory all payer OASIS Collection and Submission is for all SOC OASIS 07/01/2025 and after. You will also be required to collect and submit all subsequent OASIS for these patients (Recert, TF, ROC, DAH, DC, Other Follow Up/SCIC etc). The Final OASIS E1 Manual states the following: OASIS data collection and submission are required for patients with any pay source who are not exempt from OASIS data collection, and who begin receiving home health care services with an OASIS SOC M0090 data on or after July 1, 2025. The requirement includes the SOC OASIS and any subsequent OASIS time point assessments relevant to the patient’s home health stay (that is, resumption of care, recertification, other follow-up, transfer, discharge, and death at home). • Patients under the age of 18, patients receiving maternity services, and patients receiving only personal care, housekeeping and/or chore services continue to be excluded from OASIS data collection and submission requirements.
