SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Medicaid; preadmission screening. Allows a team of licensed physicians, nurses, and social workers to provide preadmission screening for clients of the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center for determination of need for nursing facility services. Currently, only the Departments of Health or Social Services or hospitals may perform this assessment. Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center performed this function when it was designated as a hospital; however, it is licensed currently as a comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility and is, therefore, not recognized under law to do the assessment.
