Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services Office of Medicaid 600 Washington Street Boston, MA 02111 www.mass.gov/masshealth MassHealth All Provider Bulletin 190 May 2009 To: All Providers Participating in MassHealth From: Tom Dehner, Medicaid Director RE: Preadmission Screening (PAS-A and PAS-CR) Forms Background MassHealth encourages providers to submit preadmission screening (PAS) requests online as part of its efforts to streamline business practices. As part of the preparation for NewMMIS implementation on May 26, 2009, the acute and chronic/rehab preadmission screening (PAS) forms and instructions used to submit requests for elective admissions to acute hospitals, all admissions to rehabilitation units in acute hospitals, and all admissions to chronic disease and rehabilitation hospitals have been revised. The new forms have been reorganized and reflect changes in terminology. They can now be completed online. Please Note * This bulletin applies to all providers, except dental providers who are not oral or maxillofacial surgeons. Dental providers who are not oral or maxillofacial surgeons should contact the MassHealth Dental Customer Service Center at 1-800-207-5019 if they have any questions about MassHealth. * The rules for requesting preadmission screening have not changed. For acute hospital elective admissions please refer to the administrative and billing regulations at 130 CMR 450.208. For chronic disease and rehabilitation hospital admissions, concurrent screenings, and conversion reviews, and for rehabilitation units in acute hospitals, refer to 130 CMR 435.408 through 410 in the Chronic Disease and Rehabilitation Inpatient Hospital Manual. Changes to the PAS Forms The following is a summary of the changes made to the forms. * Although longer, the forms have been simplified for ease of use. (continued on next page) Changes to the PAS Forms (cont.) * Depending on your request, only certain pages need to be completed. There are separate sections for new admission, concurrent screening, conversion review, and rereview requests. * There are now separate sections for requesting provider, admitting facility, and attending physician. * Recipient ID is now called Member ID, and is 12 characters long instead of 10. * Provider ID is now Provider ID/Service Location or NPI. * Admission type is now called Assignment. * The forms are now fillable online. You can complete them on your computer, print, and then fax or mail them. However, we encourage you to submit your PAS requests electronically using the Provider Online Service Center (POSC), instead of using the telephone, fax, or mail. Using the New PAS Forms You can start using the revised PAS forms immediately. Samples of the PAS forms are attached. Using the Old PAS Forms You can submit your PAS requests using the old PAS forms until close of business Friday, May 15, 2009. Requesting a Supply of PAS Forms The PAS forms can be downloaded from the MassHealth Web site at www.mass.gov/masshealth. These forms can also be accessed from the POSC.
