We have contracted with the State of Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) to manage comprehensive assessment processes for various screening and assessment services including:
Level I screens and completing Level II Serious Mental Illness (SMI) evaluations for individuals applying to, or residing in, Medicaid-certified nursing facilities. The federally mandated PASRR screening and assessment are used to determine whether the nursing facility is the appropriate placement for individuals with mental illness, intellectual disabilities, or developmental disabilities. PASRR also works as a critical function to help match individuals with the care and services they need.
