Summary
Maryland's PASRR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Reviews) process is transitioning from paper-based submissions to an electronic system through the Qualitrac Provider Portal, effective September 3, 2024. Nursing facilities must register by August 27, 2024, and submit PASRR Level I requests electronically instead of via traditional methods. The new system includes dynamic questionnaires, physician signature uploads for exempt hospital discharges, and automatic determination of Level II evaluation necessity.
Action Required
By August 27, 2024: Nursing facility billing and admissions staff must register the organization in the Qualitrac Provider Portal at https://telligenmd.qualitrac.com/ to ensure full access by the September 3, 2024 effective date. Designate an authorized official to manage account access. By September 3, 2024: All PASRR Level I submissions must be made through the Qualitrac electronic questionnaire instead of paper forms. Update admission workflows to require attending physician digital signatures for exempt hospital discharges before submission can be processed. Download PASRR Level I results from Qualitrac and contact the Local Health Department to request Level II assessments when indicated. Failure to transition to the electronic system may result in delayed PASRR determinations and admission delays.
