Purpose

Form 2360 is for local intellectual and developmental disability authorities (LIDDAs), local mental health authorities (LMHAs) and local behavioral health authorities (LBHAs) to inform an individual seeking admission into a nursing facility (NF) of the results of their preadmission screening and resident review (PASRR) evaluation (PE) when the results are negative. This letter standardizes the language determining a negative PE and communicates who conducted the PE. Additionally, the letter contains instructions on how the individual can appeal the determination, the time frame to do so, who to contact, an attached “Fair Hearing Request” form, and mailing address. 

Procedure

After completing a PE, the PE evaluator will complete the form letter, including their agency information.

If the PE evaluator completed the intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD) sections of the PE, then the evaluator will only complete the LIDDA section of the form letter and mail it to the individual.

If the PE evaluator completed the mental illness (MI) sections of the PE, then the evaluator will only complete the LMHA\LBHA section of the form letter and mail it to the individual.

Note: When an individual is evaluated for both IDD and MI, they should receive two letters.

After entering the information in the letter, the PE evaluator will add their agency logo or letterhead to indicate the letter is being sent by the LIDDA/LMHA/LHA.

When to Prepare

Complete this form letter when the results of the PE do not confirm an IDD or MI diagnosis and the individual is PASRR negative.

Form Retention

A copy of the form letter is permanently retained in the individual’s record. Do not send copies to state office.
