Section 10:54-7.5 - PASRR Level II; Readmission following psychiatric hospitalization

Readmission of an individual to a nursing facility following hospitalization in a psychiatric unit of an acute care hospital or from a psychiatric hospital for treatment of an acute episode of a serious mental illness is exempt from preadmission NF and Specialized Services screens. If the Minimum Data Set (MDS), which must be completed on admission, indicates a significant change in the resident's mental or behavioral status, the NF must immediately secure a resident review. If the resident's mental condition is stabilized, the resident review may be performed in the normal 12 cycle. In addition, if a resident is transferred from one NF to another, the discharging NF must forward to the admitting facility a copy of the most recent MDS, a copy of the most recent PASRR NF authorization letter and Specialized Services determination outcome.
