New Assessing Services Agency (ASA) Contract with Maximus
Effective October 1, 2018, Maximus is now processing the assessments that were formerly done by KEPRO. The full name of Maximus is “Ascend Management Innovations.”
Maximus will provide assessing services for the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) and the Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS). Maximus will perform the standardized assessments that determine eligibility and communicate service options to individuals seeking State-funded and MaineCare program Long Term Care (LTC) services. The assessment serves as the basis for generating an authorized Plan of Care that outlines the services an individual is eligible to receive. ASA assessors also conduct periodic reassessments to ensure that individuals receive the appropriate Level of Care (LOC) services. In addition, ASA assessors conduct Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) assessments for individuals suspected of having a mental disorder, intellectual disability or other related condition to determine the LOC services required.
MaineCare members can reach Maximus by phone at 833-525-5784 or email at ask-Maineasa@maximus.com.
