Maximus has been contracted to review all Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) positive Level I screens for all individuals who are applying to or residing in Medicaid-certified nursing homes and complete Level II evaluations for individuals confirmed or suspected to have mental illness. This federally mandated assessment process is used to determine whether the nursing home is the appropriate placement for individuals with mental illness, intellectual disabilities or developmental disabilities. PASRR functions as an essential method to help match individuals with the care and services they need.
