M1600: CMS OASIS Q&As
1 question CMS has answered, quoted whole from the CMS OASIS Q&As.
M1600 on the OASIS item lookup
M1600. When coding M1600 - Has this patient been treated for a Urinary Tract Infection in the past 14 days? as 1 - Yes, does there also need to be a specific ICD-10 code added to the OASIS? The EMR that our agency uses provides a warning when we code 1 - Yes but there isn’t a specific code identifying the UTI entered into the software system.
M1600 - Has this patient been treated for a Urinary Tract Infection in the past 14 days?, identifies treatment of a suspected or confirmed urinary tract infection during the past 14 days. The OASIS guidance does not speak to requiring a specific, or any, ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) that would reflect the presence of or treatment for a UTI. Questions related to vendor products or services should be addressed directly with your vendor.
