One of the top errors for home health agencies is reason code 37253, (no OASIS found). For home health claims from dates on or after January 1, 2020, “matching your claim with the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) is more important then ever,” according to CGS Medicare.
 
A list of reasons that the claim and OASIS are not matching includes:
  • Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI) does not match
  • OASIS was not sent to Quality Improvement and Evaluation System (iQIES)
