The following is clarification of the provider notice Mountain-Pacific Quality Health faxed to Medicaid providers on April 3 regarding Pre-Admission Screening & Annual Resident Review (PASRR) Level I and Level II Assessments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning March 30 through the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, the timeline for completion of PASRR assessments has been extended, but not eliminated, as indicated in the previous notice.
What does this mean for you?
- Nursing homes can admit new residents who have not received a Level I or Level II PASRR assessment.
- Requests for Level I assessments must be faxed to Mountain-Pacific Quality Health at 1-800-413-3890 within 30 days of the admission.
- Mountain-Pacific will notify providers when completion of PASRR reviews returns to normal timeframes.
Thanks to all the providers doing what they can to continue to provide safe, quality care to patients during the COVID-19 outbreak.
