Written By Annette Lee

CMS has released the quarterly OASIS Q&As for July! We have compiled the notable updates into a downloadable tool below. These Q&As serve as a essential reference to help your team navigate tricky coding updates and ensure your clinical documentation stays fully compliant. The July Q&As have just been posted last week, but we are including April's Q&As as well in case you missed them!

Note: These are the only CMS Quarterly OASIS Q&As posted at this time, as all other relevant prior quarterly Q&As have been integrated into current guidance. Utilizing both tools will keep your staff up to speed on crucial changes like AI documentation boundaries, height/weight parameters, and new M1311 pressure ulcer rules.
