This rule specifies Medicaid’s process and forms required for Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR). The PASRR is a federally mandated process to help ensure individuals in need of long-term care services reside in the most appropriate and least restrictive setting possible, are not inappropriately placed in nursing homes, and receive the services they need in that setting. The PASRR process is required for all applicants to Medicaid-certified nursing facilities, which include children under the age of 21, regardless of payor. The rule also ensures that every applicant receive a Level II evaluation and determination if indicated in the PASRR Level I. This rule supersedes the PASRR process and forms currently in the Florida Medicaid Nursing Facility Services Coverage and Limitations Handbook, incorporated by reference in Rule 59G-4.200, Florida Administrative Code.
