Medicare’s latest quarterly OASIS questions and answers are so brief they fit on one page. Two new Q&As address the upcoming OASIS-E1 changes (see story, p. 27) and OASIS item O0110O1 — IV Access. “If there is a current IV access in place at the time of assessment that is used for dialysis or during dialysis for another purpose, for example a central venous catheter, then check O0110O1 — Special Treatments, Procedures and Programs; IV Access,” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services instructs. “An AV fistula, whether it is being accessed or not, does not meet the definition of IV Access for O0110O1,” the agency adds at https://qtso.cms.gov/system/files/qtso/CMS_OAI_4th Qtr_2023_QAs_Jan_2024_final.pdf.
