The new Pre-Admission Screening process became effective on October 1, 2007. All applicants/clients applying for Medicaid long term care on October 1, 2007 and beyond must complete a Pre-Admission Screening (PAS) for clinical eligibility determination. The PAS must be submitted within thirty (30) days of the physician's certification.
Individuals enrolled in Medicaid long term care must be recertified annually. Clients desiring continued waiver services must be recertified by submission of a new PAS at least ten (10) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, prior to the expiration of the current PAS. Failure to submit timely may result in a lapse in certification.
