OASIS-E Quick Guide to PDGM and HHVBP Items

Course overview

The current payment methodology for Medicare Part A home health services is driven in part by eight specific items found in the OASIS instrument. Several other payers utilize OASIS data for payment purposes as well. Home Health Value Based Payment also adjusts payment upward or downward using a Total Performance Score (TPS) method, 35% of which is calculated based on OASIS accuracy. Incorrect OASIS responses to the specific items in this course can negatively impact revenue and quality measures. This course is a quick guide focused on the items that directly relate to PDGM and HHVBP. Each text article provides information on how to collect and apply information on a specific item.
