OASIS-C1 and ASAP System Implementations Take Effect January 1
November 20, 2014
DALLAS — Axxess, an industry leader in home health management software and the only software vendor accredited by the American Nursing Credentialing Center, announces a series of web-based and in-person training sessions to help home health agencies transition to the new Outcome and Assessment Information Set (version OASIS-C1) and new national OASIS Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system for Medicare claims, effective January 1, 2015.
Earlier this year, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 postponed the adoption of ICD-10 until at least October 1, 2015. In response to this legislative delay, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made changes to the new OASIS-C1 data set which contained questions that accommodated the new, expanded ICD-10 codes. CMS is also requiring that agencies transition from state OASIS systems to the national OASIS Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system. Both remain effective on January 1, 2015.
“These new requirements profoundly impact home health agency owners and their staff,” said John Olajide, CEO of Axxess. “To help ensure a smooth operational transition and reduce the risk of penalties associated with noncompliance, Axxess is offering practical, authoritative education as well as comprehensive, integrated software solutions.”
