can you do an oasis c2 recert just for HHA services?

[kembers]

i just switched jobs and at my old job for hha recerts it was just called SN C-2 but the job im doing now has us doing oasis recerts for just HHA recerts @ 60 days ... i mean they wouldnt keep doing it if they werent getting paid for it.. right? but i thought the Recerts had to be skilled. ok so another question i had was if anyone knew if it is illegal to have a home health company only have one race of clients. (all of them are foreign and dont speak english so its acutally a good thing that our company is helping them or they wouldnt be able to get help from any other company)

Actually, you can do a an Oasis C-2 recert for HHA services alone. If the pay source is Medicaid, then a patient can have a HHA with a 60 sup visit at recert. Medicare will not allow a HHA without a therapy or nursing, but Medicaid will. Check the payer source. The majority of my patients are Medicaid, so I am pretty familiar with this, and didn't know until I came to work for the current HHC company.

Medicaid for only HHA services is a non skilled case, so no the oasis does not need to be done, as it is non-transmittable anyway.
