Eligibility for Eligibility for Long-Term Care ServicesLong-Term Care Services
To be eligible for Medicaid-funded long-term care services individuals must :
– Qualify for Medicaid; and
– Meet specified long-term care criteria according to a standardized long-term care assessment instrument
– Uniform Assessment Instrument (UAI) for nursing facility, PACE and Waiver level of care
Qualify for MedicaidQualify for MedicaidDMAS -122DMAS -122
The DMAS-122 is the service provider’s authorization to bill Medicaid for LTC services.
DMAS-122 is to be sent by the Eligibility Worker no later than 45 days from date of application, and 30 days from the date of a reported change.
Qualify for MedicaidQualify for MedicaidDMAS -122DMAS -122
If the individual does not receive LTC services for 30 days, he must be referred to the Eligibility Worker for a determination of continued Medicaid eligibility.
Qualify for MedicaidQualify for Medicaid Individuals who are Medicaid eligible at the time
of application for LTC services are not automatically eligible for LTC services if they meet the functional assessment.
The local DSS must assess the individual’s eligibility for Medicaid (LTC) and calculate a patient pay. Everyone must have a calculation, not everyone has a patient pay.
What is Preadmission What is Preadmission ScreeningScreening
Evaluate whether a service or a combination of existing community services is available to meet the individual's needs; and to make sure those services are available.
What is Preadmission What is Preadmission ScreeningScreening
Evaluate the medical, nursing, developmental, psychological, and social needs when there is a reasonable indication that a recipient might need institutional services in a month or less unless he or she receives home and community based services (42 CFR 441.302(c)(1))
Analyze what specific services the individual needs;
What is Preadmission What is Preadmission ScreeningScreening
Determine the level of care required by the individual by applying existing criteria for nursing facility.
The pre-admission screening process is designed to be a team process that includes the input of both medical and social work professionals.
What is Preadmission What is Preadmission ScreeningScreening
The screening team's assessment of the availability of community services depends upon:– Whether the needed service exists in the
community;• Whether eligibility for Medicaid coverage can
be established; and• Whether the service can be delivered at the time
and in the amount necessary to meet the individual's needs.
What is Preadmission What is Preadmission ScreeningScreening
The screening team explores alternative settings or services, or both, which might meet the identified needs of the individual. If nursing facility placement or a combination of other services is determined to be appropriate, the screening team initiates referrals for service.

If Medicaid-funded home and community-based care services are determined to be necessary to delay or avoid nursing facility placement, the screening team is responsible for initiating referrals for service.
Preadmission ScreeningPreadmission Screening
In order to be eligible for a waiver individuals must be screened to determine if they meet the admission criteria.
If in the community, the screening is done by a nurse from the local health department and a social worker from the local department of social services

The individual who is applying for a waiver must meet
the same criteria that is used for admission to the institution. 42 C.F.R. 441.302 (c)(1); 42 C.F.R. 441.303 (c)(2)

Remember to evaluate each person individually and against the “norm”.– For example a it is not the norm at the age of 10
to wear diapers.– At any age it is not the norm to be short of
breath– Don’t lump all Diabetic, CHF, COPD, etc.
patients into a category due to disease process. I.E. All COPD need Oxygen.

Patient PayPatient Pay
DMAS receives the 122 to determine if consumer direction services is the receiver of patient pay.
Patient pay amount is paid by the recipient to the attendant when they receive their pay stub for the pay period that contains the first day of the month.
Patient PayPatient Pay
If the recipient has more than one attendant then they MUST verify by reviewing the amount listed on the pay stub received from DMAS which attendant has had the patient pay amount deducted.
If the attendant earned less than the patient pay amount, the recipient will not receive a pay stub from DMAS and will have a negative balance until they work enough hours to earn over the patient pay amount.
