R414-503-3. PASRR Level I Screening for All Persons

(1) The purpose of a PASRR Level I screening is for a health care professional to identify any person with a serious mental illness, intellectual disability, or other related condition so the professional may consider that person for admission to a Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing facility. The health care professional who conducts the Level I screening shall refer the person for a Level II evaluation if the professional determines the person has a serious mental illness, intellectual disability, or other related condition. (2) The health care professional shall complete a Level I screening before any Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing facility admission. (3) The health care professional shall complete the Level I screening on a form supplied by the Department. (4) The health care professional shall sign and date the Level I screening. (5) The nursing facility shall revise the Level I screening if there is a significant change in the person's condition. (6) The Department shall require Level I screening for all persons even if a person cannot cooperate or participate in Level I screening due to delirium or other emergency circumstances. The health care professional shall complete the Level I screening by using available medical information or other outside information.
