Clinical Eligibility Assessment for Long-Term-Care Services
ASAPs have been designated by MassHealth to provide Clinical Assessment and Eligibility (CAE) Screenings for Certain Long Term Care Services and Supports for MassHealth including but not limited to Nursing Facility Services for MassHealth members and applicants age 22 and older. Please send the nursing facility screening request and necessary clinical documentation to the ASAP serving the city or town in which your nursing facility is located. Requests must be reviewed and approved by the ASAP for MassHealth to pay for a MassHealth member’s nursing facility stay.
Clinical approval is a prerequisite for MassHealth payment. Learn more about assistance in locating the ASAP that serves your nursing facility, or call 1-800-AGE-INFO (1-800-243-4636).
