Purpose

The Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Preadmission Screening and Resident Review Program (PASRR) requires Local Intellectual and Development Disabilities Authorities (LIDDA)’s to report a nursing facility (NF) that refuses or fails to comply with requirements to initiate specialized services. In accordance with the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services’ Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017 Contract Amendment Three, Attachment G, Page G-4, all LIDDA’s must report NF non-compliance for the initiation or the provision of specialized services to HHS Consumer Rights and Services (CRS). The LIDDA must also report non-compliance to initiate specialized services to the PASRR unit using the PASRR Reporting of Non-Compliance form. The LIDDA must submit a form even if there are no complaints to report that month.  

 

When to Prepare

The LIDDA will complete the form when it has filed a complaint with CRS against an NF for failure to initiate or deliver specialized services. Each complaint must be on a separate form thus one complaint per form. The following is a list of the specialized services provided by NFs:

  • occupational therapy (OT);
  • physical therapy (PT);
  • speech therapy (ST);
  • customized manual wheelchair (CMWC); and
  • durable or adaptive medical equipment (Other DME).

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Reporting a Complaint:

  • After confirming three documented attempts to get the NF to initiate services for an individual and determining which specialized services were not initiated or delivered, the LIDDA will contact the CRS hotline at 1-800-458-9858 to report a complaint. During the call, it is important for LIDDA staff to state the individual is not receiving needed specialized services.
  • Include accurate and complete information on the individual requiring specialized services.
  • Provide the CRS representative with the specific complaint issue (Failure to Initiate Services/Failure to Provide Ongoing Services) for the following services: OT, PT, Speech, CMWC and Other DME.
  • Make sure CRS provides the CRS Tracking Number before you end the call.
  • LIDDA staff must cooperate with any complaint investigation initiated as a result of calling the CRS hotline. The expectation includes sharing the service coordinator’s progress notes with the HHS Regulatory Services investigators (documentation of attempts to work with the NF to deliver specialized services as agreed to by the Interdisciplinary team).
