Description of the Medical Necessity Assessment

 

The Medical Necessity Assessment description can be seen on the Medical Necessity Home Page.

Ability to Edit, Resume and Delete an Assessment

Resuming an Assessment:

Resuming an assessment will be shown if an assessment has been started, but not all questions are answered. If an assessment has been started and staff members leave the assessment area, all questions answered will be saved (autosave).

 

Editing an Assessment:

Editing an assessment will be shown if an assessment has been started and all questions have been answered but the recommendation page has not been submitted. Staff can edit an assessment to make any changes needed before the assessment is submitted.

 


Deleting an Assessment:

Medical Necessity Assessment

 

VB-MAPP

 

Previous Assessments Started and Completed:

  • Previous Assessments that have been finalized and submitted will have the option to Delete

  • Previous Assessments that have not been finished will have the option to Resume (these assessments have started but there are no responses for questions)

 

Important Guidelines for Editing

and Resuming the MNA:

  • Once an assessment has been submitted, editing is NOT an option.

  • If the submit button has NOT been pressed, Editing is an option.

  • If an assessment has been started but not yet completed, resume will be the option on the main assessment page.

  • Deleting an assessment is an option in all scenarios if staff have permission in the company account.

  • When attempting to delete an assessment, staff will receive a confirmation to delete or to cancel the request.

Improvement to Previous and Current Status

When completing a Service Reauthorization MNA, both the previous and current status are now required. In addition, there is a warning if a status is not completed before moving on to the next page of the assessment.

 

 

 

Rewording of some assessment questions

Throughout the MNA, some of the questions have been reworded to simplify the question and avoid confusion.

The following questions have been updated and improved:

  • Weekly Session Availability

  • No Response to Email/Voicemail

  • Parent Goals/Participation Expectation

  • No Data Collection (Treatment)

The last page of the assessment, has an updated title with a description:

Diagnostic Symptoms Considerations
