New York Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR)
We partner with DOH to perform Level II onsite evaluations for individuals suspected of having a mental illness the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) program. PASRR assessments are performed on individuals who are applying to, or residing in, Medicaid-certified nursing homes. The primary objective of this federally-mandated assessment is to determine whether the nursing home 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.

New York Independent Assessor Program (NYIAP)
Maximus has partnered with the New York State Department of Health to establish the New York Independent Assessor Program (NYIAP) for New York State Medicaid members seeking personal care services, consumer directed personal assistance services and/or enrollment into a Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plan. NYIAP Nurse Assessors conduct conflict-free assessments of these individuals using the Community Health Assessment (CHA) tool to determine whether they meet the requirements to request these services. Independent Practitioners—physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants—conduct clinical appointments to determine if the individual is medically stable to receive services in the community. The information collected from the CHA and clinical appointment is used by Local Departments of Social Services, Medicaid Managed Care Organizations, and Managed Long Term Care plans to develop the individual’s person-centered service plan.
