Where to Submit This Form

📠

Submit to the state's designated PASRR Level 2 evaluation authority

The Level 2 evaluation is conducted by the state mental health or intellectual disability authority (or their designee).

🌐

Submit through the state's PASRR electronic system (if available)

Filing Deadline

Must be completed before nursing facility admission (unless exempt). For exempt admissions, the Level 2 must be completed within the state's specified timeframe (typically 30 days).

Required Attachments

  • 📎 Level 1 screening results indicating need for Level 2
  • 📎 Comprehensive clinical information (psychiatric history, current symptoms, functional abilities)
  • 📎 Medical records and treatment history
  • 📎 Current medications and treatment plans
  • 📎 Evaluator's professional qualifications and credentials

Processing Time

The evaluation itself: 1-3 hours. State processing of the evaluation and determination: 7-14 business days. Expedited processing may be available for urgent situations.

What Happens Next

The state authority determines whether nursing facility placement is appropriate AND what specialized services are needed. Determinations include: NF appropriate with specialized services, NF appropriate without specialized services, or NF not appropriate (alternative placement recommended).

Tips for This Form

  • The Level 2 determination must address BOTH the appropriateness of NF placement AND the need for specialized services
  • If the individual needs specialized mental health or ID services, the state must ensure those services are provided in the nursing facility
  • Individuals found to NOT need NF-level care must be offered alternative community-based placement
  • PASRR Level 2 determinations must be revisited whenever there is a significant change in the resident's condition
