Be sure to join the Indiana PASRR team as they provide a comprehensive review of the PASRR process and Level I completion. The team will also cover some helpful hints for working in AssessmentPro, including a brief demonstration of how to quickly navigate the system, and a review of how to accurately fill out an admission notice, transfer or discharge notice in PathTracker Plus.

This will be a system-based session, so no handouts will be available. We will also hold a Q&A session with the team, as time permits.

Indiana PASRR – PASRR Process and Level I Training | 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET Tuesday, December 20
 

Best Practices: Assessment Tips & Reminders

1. To prevent billing delays, be sure to discharge or transfer patients out of PathTracker in a timely manner, and admit the patient in PathTracker on the day of admission, or as soon as possible.

2. Keep in mind that the assessment reference date is the date that Medicaid billing begins.

3. Preadmission screens are for potential nursing facility applicants. Once the patient has been admitted to the facility, the reason for screen should be Nursing facility resident who is not currently in an inpatient psychiatric hospital/unit.

Please be aware that this evening, Tuesday November 1, Maximus IT will publish updates to the AssessmentPro system. With these upgrades comes a new way for users to update their passwords. 

Currently, when users click the reset password button, a link will be sent to the email address you use to log into AssessmentPro, prompting you to create a new password.

Going forward, instead of receiving a link, a verification code will be sent to your email address, which you will enter on the AssessmentPro site, then create a new password (see below):

Indiana PASRR – Provider Meeting | Topic: Preparing for a LII Interview  | 3 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, September 21

UPDATE: Public Health Emergency Extended Through October

The Department of Health & Human Services recently announced a 90-day extension of the nationwide COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). This means the PHE will last through at least mid-October and could potentially be extended again. The Administration continues to reiterate its commitment to providing states and other stakeholders at least 60 days’ notice before ending the PHE. 
 
To prepare for the end of the PHE, check out this webinar from the National Center on Law & Elder Rights, Justice in Aging, and The Arc on Unwinding the Public Health Emergency: Strategies for Advocates to Protect Beneficiaries and resources from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). 

 

TOP TIPS: Important Process Reminders 

1. Sign Scheduling Attestation
Be sure to always sign the scheduling attestation for the IC interview for LII in order to document that the interview took place.  

2. Information needed for every fax submission 
When sending faxes, be sure to include all necessary information. Most critically, this should include individual’s name, date of birth (DOB) and sender / facility name. These help to ensure this person’s assessment process continues to move smoothly without any delays.
