Subject: RE: F2F Encounter Date
Hi Vickie,
Our agency includes the F2F encounter date in the certification statement on the POC/485 (see below example). We also pull additional documentation from the admission assessment to the POC to support homebound
status, so this is all signed off on by the certifying provider.
Take care and stay warm!

Hi Medicare Friends,
I’m curious- do any of you add the f2f encounter date on your POC in Locator 26 at SOC? Or do you use the older f2f documentation “form” where the md fills out skilled services required and homebound status?
Thanks in advance!
Stay warm J
