Summary
Maryland Medicaid has established a new process for community providers to request PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) Level I screenings for nursing facility admissions. Community providers must now request fillable PDF screening tools from Telligen via email or phone, complete them with required medical documentation, and submit through secure email channels.
Action Required
Immediately: Community providers in Maryland must establish contact with Telligen's Maryland Call Center at MarylandUCSupport@telligen.com or (888) 276-7075 to request PASRR Level I screening tools when nursing facility placement is needed. Staff must be trained to complete PDF forms and submit with medication lists and physician progress notes via secure email. This only affects community admissions - acute hospitals and nursing facilities should continue using electronic Qualitrac system.
