Everyone who applies for admission to a Medicaid certified nursing facility (NF), regardless of funding, must be “screened” for evidence of serious mental illness (MI) and/or intellectual disability, developmental disabilities, or related conditions (collectively abbreviated as “ID”). The intent of PASRR is to ensure that all NF applicants are thoroughly evaluated, that they are placed in nursing facilities only when appropriate, and that they receive all necessary services while they are there.
