Frequently Asked Questions
CMS requires the care plan to be updated as often as the patient's condition warrants, typically after hospitalizations, significant health changes, or during scheduled monthly reviews.
AI can generate the draft and populate data from the EHR, but a clinical staff member must review and finalize the plan to ensure medical necessity and accuracy.
The most common reasons are lack of individualized goals, failing to share the plan with the patient, and missing documentation of medication reconciliation.
Patients must be provided with a copy, but CMS allows this to be electronic (via portal or secure email) or a physical paper copy based on patient preference.
