M0065 Q10.1Category 4b - OASIS Data Items
M0065. Home Health Agencies in the state of Iowa are transitioning from Traditional Medicaid to three private companies for Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). For M0065 - Medicaid Number, should agencies use the traditional Medicaid number, or the new patient ID number provided by the MCO?
M0065 - Medicaid Number specifies the patient’s Medicaid number, if the patient has Medicaid. Answer this item whether or not Medicaid is the payer source for the home care episode. Do not enter the identification number provided by an HMO or MCO.
