Florida Pre-Admission Screening and
Resident Review Level II Evaluation (PASRR)

Acentra Health (formerly Kepro) was awarded a statewide contract by Florida’s Department of Children and Families to provide Level II pre-admission screening and resident review evaluations and determinations. Acentra was selected as the most qualified firm to conduct the Level II pre-admission screening and resident review (PASRR) evaluations of persons with suspected or confirmed diagnoses of mental illness, who are seeking admission to or residing in Medicaid-certified nursing facilities in Florida.

Acentra Health utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach. Acentra’s professionals, which include, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and physicians work together to evaluate the appropriateness of nursing facility placement and the need for Specialized Services for each individual referred for PASRR/MI Level II evaluation.

Acentra adheres to the Federal and state regulations governing the PASRR/MI process. The Level II evaluations are sensitive to each individual’s culture, language, ethnic origin, and means of communication.
