I think that is the case. A medication review must be done on admission that I dont think the therapists are comfortable doing.

They do not bill for " fake visits" or anything like that. On therapy only patients - the PT goes in and does their admit oasis and has patient sign for recieving right and responsibilities. Then RN goes in whenever possible to do nursing oasis and med review. This is not billable and area where pt signs is dated as the day therapy saw patient even if a week later because patient put nursing visit off. Then only therapy sees patient with legit visits. Similiar on dc. Therapy does dc oasis and nursing then does unbillable dc oasis and dated same date as when therapy dc'd on signature line even if a week later.

I recently started working for a home health company. I am still in orientation and overall they seem to follow cms rules and regulations. However when it comes to completing the soc and dc oasis on therapy only cases they change the assessment date to match that of when therapy did their oasis. They justify it by saying the nursing visits are not billable anyway. Isn' t there some sort of a window that would allow nursing to complete their oasis assessment on a different date? Is this common? Is this legit or should I find new employment?
