Q: Must there be a visit on the date of M0090?
A: M0090 is the last date when the final assessment data are collected. For the SOC assessment, this must be completed within five days of the SOC date. In most situations, assessment data is completed in association with a patient visit and M0090 would be the last visit date in which assessment data was collected.
The exception is the Transfer to Inpatient Facility – patient not discharged from agency; Transfer to Inpatient Facility – patient discharged from agency, or Death at Home assessments. These time points are not typically associated with a patient visit. In these situations, the clinician should record the date the agency completes the data collections after learning of the event.
