CCM Long-term Services and Supports (LTSS) Assessments

Learn about the CCM LTSS Assessments needed to authorize your continuous skilled nursing hours.

CCM LTSS Assessments

The CCM LTSS Assessments include the Community Long Term Care Needs Assessment and the CCM Individualized Assessment for Skilled Nursing Needs. These assessments are used for all MassHealth members enrolled in or seeking to enroll in the Community Case Management (CCM) program. The CCM LTSS Assessments determine a member’s need for continuous skilled nursing (CSN) services by reviewing and measuring the time it takes to complete all nursing interventions.
  
For more details on the CCM LTSS Assessments and what you can do to prepare, please review the CCM Onboarding Guide. The Onboarding Guide also includes an overview of other MassHealth and community-based services that CCM Clinical Managers can help with authorizing and coordinating, such as personal care attendant (PCA) and durable medical equipment (DME), and how to appeal a MassHealth decision.
