Question: If a patient receives a home visit from a non-agency nurse practitioner because the patient is experiencing increased pain, would you count this as emergent care in answering M0830? Answer: Yes, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says in question 176 of the updated OASIS Questions and Answers. You should report the visit by the (non-home care) nurse based on which provider - such as the doctor's office or outpatient clinic - sent the nurse, CMS clarifies.
