    BEST PRACTICES: Assessment Tips & Reminders

    1. We thank you for your patience as we address every call in the order we receive them. Our standard practice is to return calls within two business days; however, this may vary during periods of significant call volumes.

    We request you do not call multiple times and leave multiple voicemails regarding the same issue/question. This only slows the process and will not result in an earlier call back.

    2. To obtain missing determination letters from previous vendors, reach out to OADS at OADS-LTSS-Requests.DHHS@maine.gov. For any missing a determination letters from assessments completed by Maximus, contact the Maine ASA Support Desk: 883.525.5784 

    3. The Maine-ASA@maximus.com email is only for submitting referrals and supporting documentation. For general assessment questions, Providers should email Ask-MaineASA@maximus.com.


    FAQs: Answers to All Your Important Program Questions

    Q: Can I combine multiple referrals into one fax?  A: It is best practice to send referrals separately, rather than combine multiple referrals into one fax. When a single fax transmission is received with multiple referrals, it results in the need to digitally separate each individual referral. Sending each referral in a separate fax transmission reduces the risk of potential HIPAA violation and speeds up the intake process. 
    Q: What is the expected turnaround time for a LTC MED assessment?

    A: Hospitals have an expected 24-hour turnaround time. All other referrals have a 5-business day turnaround time. For nursing facilities with a first non-SNF day due to denial of skilled services, the assessment cannot be completed prior to the first nonSNF date. 20-day copay assessments are not completed before the 20th Medicare day.

    Q: Will assessments completed at a facility be printed and given to recipients prior to the assessor leaving that facility? 

    A: Yes, standard practice is that a copy of the assessment will be provided during the assessor’s facility visit, unless the assessor is must delay completion to obtain missing information. In that case, a copy of the medical eligibility will be faxed to the facility.
