All correspondence, documents and information for home health agencies subject to Outcome Assessment Information Set (OASIS) requirements are now being distributed via the OASIS Dial-Up Network Bulletins Page.

Florida home health agencies that are Medicare-certified or Medicaid-enrolled are required to electronically transmit to the state database in accordance with the federal reporting regulation (effective July 19, 1999). Florida HHAs should be using CMS-issued branch identifiers in M0016 instead of the prior Florida requirement to enter the state license number (without the preceding 'HHA' designation).
