TOPIC: LEVEL I
A PASRR Level I screen must be completed for all applicants to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility, regardless of the individual's payer source, and must be completed before a resident can be admitted into a nursing facility. Each state’s Medicaid agency designates who may perform Level I screens and is ultimately responsible for providing oversight for this process. This section contains Level I resources for state PASRR programs.

Report
This report (below) presents the first systematic, empirical effort to document the design of PASRR systems in all States and the District of Columbia. Staff from the PASRR Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) reviewed States policies and procedures kept on file by PASRR Coordinator in CMS Regional Offices. Documentation was collected in late 2009; the results of this review therefore represent a snapshot of PASRR systems design at that time. This review does not capture any information on the implementation of these programs.
