What is the process of establishing reimbursement based on OASIS data called?

Payment Determination is the process by which the reimbursement amount is set using the data collected in OASIS. The OASIS findings feed into the home health payment formula (under the Home Health Prospective Payment System, now aligned with PDGM), determining how much the agency will be paid for that patient episode. An individual OASIS item, such as M2020, is a data point used in the assessment, not the method of setting payment. CMS Q&As are guidance resources, and Public Reporting relates to publishing performance information, not calculating reimbursement.
