What is PASRR?
Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) a federally required process that prohibits a Medicaid certified nursing facility from admitting any new resident who has a serious mental illness or has an intellectual disability or related disability (ID/RD), unless it has been determined whether the individual requires a level of service provided by the nursing facility and the individual is in need of specialized services for the mental illness or ID/RD.
