Admission Review

Admission Review A. The Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) is responsible for conducting reviews of each beneficiary’s need for admission to an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID). B. An ICF/IID pre-admission form must be completed no more than thirty (30) days prior to the admission of the beneficiary to an ICF/IID and submitted with a copy of the current physical examination, medical and social history, and the preliminary evaluation. C. A physician must certify that each applicant's or beneficiary’s ICF/IID level of care criteria were met at the time of admission. Recertification must be made at least every twelve (12) months thereafter. D. The interdisciplinary team must prepare for each resident, within thirty (30) days after admission, an individual program plan (IPP) that states the specific objectives necessary to meet the beneficiary’s needs. At least annually, the comprehensive functional assessment of each beneficiary must be reviewed by the interdisciplinary team for relevancy and must be updated and the IPP is revised as needed.
