What is a Desk Review?
A desk review is a comparison between two sets of MCO-FED data.
MCO FED data are FED questions pulled from the interRAI-HC assessment completed by one of the MCOs interfaced with PIA.

How are the Data Sets Created?
The MCOs upload the interRAI-HC to PIA & PIA extracts FED data from it & generates the FED. This is done on a nightly basis.
You may see more than two data sets within a year. The MCOs can administer the interRAI-HC whenever they think it is needed.

Who can do a desk review?
• Any agency personnel who are already users in PIA with the role of assessor.
• If you want additional people doing desk reviews, they must complete the FED & PIA training, have a b-account, & be given access to PIA.
• Desk reviews DO NOT have to be completed by an assessor, but they must have the assessor role in PIA.
When is a Desk Review Required?
As a part of the redetermination of clinical eligibility for long-term supports & services through CHC, desk reviews must be done on a yearly basis.
If there are two sets of data & the most recent one is a change from NFCE to NFI.
Program type will always be redetermination and the assessment type will either be initial, significant change or annual.

When is a Desk Review Required? Continued
An Annual assessment (333-365 days from the initial MCO-FED and subsequent annual MCO FEDs). If an annual desk review is done after 365, make a note in the comments that the assessment was late and proceed with completing the desk review. The annual desk reviews are when you will compare an initial to an annual or an annual to an annual.
When an individual goes from NFCE to NFI (a priority review). These cases can be Initial to an annual, initial to a significant change, significant change to significant change, or annual to significant change.

When is a Desk Review Not Needed? DO NOT use previously completed FEDs with HCBS, Nursing Facility, PCH,
Personal Care, Dom Care or other Waivers as the Program Type when making desk review comparisons. These FED’s cannot be used for desk reviews.
If there are two sets of MCO data & both are NFI or the most recent one is a change from NFI to NFCE a desk review cannot be completed.
***Reviewers should no longer complete desk reviews for significant changes that go from NFCE-NFCE ***
Do not complete a desk review if only one set of data is from the MCO. We do not compare data between AAA FEDs and MCO FEDs.

How will I Know a Desk Review is Needed?
There are two answers to this question.
The first one deals with a “normal”
process. The second deals with the
backlog of needed desk reviews. Aging Well PA, LLC

Normal Process for a Desk Review.
• An alert, much like the alert for the FED, will occur in PIA.
• There are two kinds of alerts. The first is a priority alert when the determination has changed from NFCE to NFI. These must ALWAYS be given priority.
Second Type of Alert
The second type of alert is an alert that states Information for Desk Review is available. These alerts are triggered when the MCO completes an assessment or there has been a significant change.
The next slide shows how to look for both kinds of alerts.

The next series of slides will show you how to do this.

You should now have two windows open that both look like this. Your
next step is to place the windows side-by-side to make review easier.
The quickest way to do this is to drag the screen’s title bar to one
side of your screen. When the cursor touches the screen edge,
release the mouse button. Now do the same thing dragging the title
bar to the opposite side of the screen. If you are using Windows 10
you can do this even quicker. See the directions located here for
these procedures. https://support.microsoft.com/en-

opened and side-by-side, you can
begin the desk review. It may be
easier to make notes outside of PIA to
keep track of any discrepancies you
might find.
What Will You Review?
For all desk reviews:
Look to see if the MCO completed assessment was on time. This means, an assessment was done on one or more
occasion by the MCO within the past 333-365 days.
Determine if there are any factual discrepancies in the personal information (correct name, date of birth, gender, etc.)
Determine if the FED is complete; are all the items in the original FED in the new assessment?

The email should include the participant’s ID number. Do not include any additional identifying information.

Alerting Aging Well
Any desk review alerts you receive where there are two MCO FEDs and the initial FED is NFI. This should be documented using the NFI Tracking Template and is submitted to your QCSS each week by the end of the day Friday.
FAQ #1
What is the payment for a desk review & how do we bill for it?
The payment rate for a desk review is the same as your FED rate. You will generate a report in PIA in the same way you create reports for the FED. These will be reconciled with your QCSS.
Desk reviews should be entered on the Redetermination line on your monthly invoice. Aging Well PA, LLC

What if I receive multiple requests for a desk review?
Always check two things.
1. Is the request due to a determination going from NFCE to NFI?
2. Is the program type redetermination or significant change?
