Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medicare requires that clients receiving home health care must be recertified every 60 days to validate the need for continued skilled care. An OASIS-1 is completed during the initial assessment. The discharge assessment is completed when terminating home care. The transfer assessment is completed when the client is rehospitalized or transferred to another agency for care.
