Certification NFs must indicate they can meet the individuals needs identified on the PE This indication is completed on the PL1 after a positive PE has been submitted An enhancement was developed to send two alerts to the NF to remind them to compete the certification requirement 5
Didn t Certify? What happens if you don t certify on the PL1 Section D part N? PASRR Quality Monitoring staff will run reports showing cases where section D part N is blank and the individual appears to be in the NF. Survey staff may cite facilities who have not completed the required certification. 6
Didn t Certify or Admit? What happens if you don t certify you can meet the needs or admit the individual on the PL1 section D parts N and O? When the PL1 was submitted as a Preadmission type of admission, the NF accepting the individual must complete both sections D parts N and O. 7
Didn t Certify or Admit Continued Facilities may be cited for failure to certify. After 90 days, if section D parts N and O have not been completed, the status of the PL1 will change to NF Placement Exhausted. When this happens, the NF will not be able to submit requests for services using the NFSS process. The PL1, PE and IDT will have to be completed again. 8
How do I certify/admit? TMHP shows buttons on the yellow toolbar for the PL1. When a positive PE has been submitted the Able to Serve and Unable to Serve buttons will be available. The NF should click on the appropriate button. If Able to Serve is selected the Admitted selection will be available to allow you to enter a date in Section D part O. 9

Taking Charge! PASRR is ever evolving and changing to meet the needs of the people we serve. You must educate yourself and those you manage: Read the rules Take the trainings Use the TMHP/Simple LTC guides Develop binders/training for new hires Ask Share 15
16
The IDT The IDT and your LTCMI are linked. Knowing when an IDT is needed, keeping the meeting dates current, inviting the required members and submitting the IDT form accurately and timely will help you to avoid citation and submit your LTCMI on time. 17
Who Needs An IDT Meeting? IDT meetings are required for individuals: with a confirmed positive PE and who are not enrolled in Hospice care regardless of their age or payor source An IDT meeting must also be conducted for these individuals annually. 18
IDT Members? At a minimum the required members of the PASRR IDT are: The individual The Legally Authorized Representative (if applicable) The RN from the NF The LA staff as indicated by the individual s PASRR eligibility (IDD/MI) 19
Invalid IDTs If the required members are not in attendance (by phone or in person) and in the case of the individual or LAR, there is not documentation of efforts made to invite them, the IDT is considered invalid. Federal Requirements instruct States as to who has to attend PASRR IDT meetings. 20
LTCMI/IDT What do you do when you try to submit your LTCMI but the system does not find an IDT current within the past 12 months? Is the individual discharged? If so, enter discharge in section B of the PL1 and submit the update. Is the date of the last IDT older than 12 months from the date of the LTCMI submission? Conduct an annual IDT 21
LTCMI/IDT Continued Is there an IDT submitted for an individual who is still in your facility? If not, schedule the initial IDT. Do not conduct a meeting without the appropriate LA staff in attendance. Do not conduct a meeting without the RN from the NF in attendance. Do not record that the LA staff and/or the RN were in attendance if they were not there. 22
SS Who Qualifies? Individuals who qualify for PASRR Specialized Services: have a diagnosis of mental illness or an intellectual disability with onset before age 18 or developmental disability (related condition) with onset before age 22 reside in a Medicaid-certified NF have a confirmed positive PARR Evaluation (PE) receive Medicaid are 21 years of age and older. 23
Services on the IDT The PASRR IDT form is to record PASRR specialized services only. The slide before this one provides instruction on who qualifies for SS. If someone does not have Medicaid or is younger than 21, the IDT meeting is still held. Use the comment box to record non-pasrr services. 24
Preadmission Any admission from the community that is not expedited or exempted (i.e.: psychiatric hospital, home, group home, assisted living, jail) If the PL1 screening is negative: RE sends PL1 to NF with individual NF admits individual and submits PL1 into the LTC Portal 25
Preadmission Continued If the PL1 screening is positive: RE faxes PL1 to LA this starts the 72 hour timer for the LA to meet face to face with the individual LA submits the PL1 into the LTC Portal LA completes and submits the PE into the LTC portal within 7 days NF reviews PE and certifies on the PL1 if they are Able or Unable to serve individual before the individual is admitted 26
