NOTE: Starting 2021, the Notice of Admission (NOA), formerly known as RAP, is ONLY submitted at "Start of Care." The NOA must be submitted within 5 days, from admission date, to avoid payment penalty. We recommend putting (1) for the "minimum number of days from 1st visit to RAP." This allows tracking from date of admission. (If you are reviewing dates of service prior to 2021, use the suggestions at Step 5 above.)
