READER QUESTIONS:

Find the Missing OASIS Tables

Question: Where are the new OASIS Table 2a,Table 2b and Table 4? I read that the old Table 2a is now Table 4, and I can't find the new Table 2b (diagnoses) and the old Table 4 (eligible V codes). Can you help?

Answer: With the dawn of OASIS C, it's grown more difficult to find the tables you're looking for. You're right that the old Table 2a is now Table 4. -- Case Mix Variable and Scoring Table. You can find it as well as the diagnoses and eligible V code tables online here: www.cms.hhs.gov/HomeHealthPPS/05_CaseMixGrouperSoftware.asp.

Scroll to the link for Nov 09 Case Mix Grouper Software and once the HHRGJava folder has downloaded,open it and you will find the tables in the Grouper_2409_1.tables folder. The tables are in Notepad format -- not the most user-friendly for printed tables, but the information is still handy.
