SOC Oasis vs. ROC Oasis

[PattiRN]

Client is due for recertification and the RN does the Recert Oasis on 5/1, the start of the new cert. period would be 5/6, client is admitted to the hospital on 5/2. Client comes out on 5/22- do you do a SOC or ROC? Billing at my agency is telling me that when this person went in the hospital prior to the new cert. period...and stays in until after that new cert. date that it is a complete discharge and RN would have to do a SOC.

What do you do?

I believe it's the same at our agency.

You do a SOC as there was no qualifying visit in the new period prior to hospitalization.

Same here, SOC Oasis

Definitely a start of care.
