YES
Assessment (CANS) |
A new assessment for YES Waiver
Services has been added to CMBHS to comply with CMS YES Waiver requirements
and to facilitate the eligibility determination process. The YES Waiver
Clinical Eligibility (CE) will now be associated only with the YES Assessment
(CANS) and will no longer be accessible if only a TRR MH Uniform
Assessment (MH Uniform Assessment has been completed. Overview
of the YES Assessment The YES Assessment consists of two
parts: 1.
YES CANS tab - same questions as the MH Uniform Assessment
2.
YES
Community Data tab – same questions as the MH Uniform Assessment
plus 9 additional questions. 3.
Although the YES Assessment calculates an LOC-R there is
no LOC-A or Authorization tab. Key
Business Rules 1.
The YES Assessment can be completed by an LMHA regardless
of the client’s status with another organization. For example, if a client
has an open episode of care with a private MH provider receiving TRR MH services,
but not YES waiver services, an LMHA may assess the client with a YES
Assessment. No changes to locations or roles is needed. 2.
A YES Assessment can be completed by a YES Waiver LPHA or MH
Assessor. A
YES Assessment can be completed at
a YES Waiver LMHA. 3.
Data for the CANS tab can be populated from a TRR MH
Uniform Assessment or another YES Assessment (CANS) that is less than 90 days
old and the data for the Community Data tab can only be populated from
another YES Assessment (CANS) that is less than 245 days old. Transition
