By June 30, 2019, each person performing LTSS screenings on behalf of a screening entity shall complete required training and competency tests. A score of at least 80% on each module for each person who is required to give final approval on LTSS screenings on behalf of the screening entity shall constitute satisfactory competency test results. The most current competency test results shall be kept in the screening entity's personnel records for each person performing LTSS screenings for the screening entity. Such documentation results shall be provided to DMAS upon its request.

1. All persons who are required by the screening entity to give final approval of LTSS screenings shall complete the DMAS-approved training and pass the corresponding competency tests with a score of at least 80% for each module of the training prior to performing LTSS screenings. Each LTSS screener who has passed the competency training will be provided a certification number that shall be entered into the eMLS upon final approval of the Medicaid LTSS screening.

2. Upon successful completion of the initial training, each person who is required to give final approval of LTSS screenings on behalf of the screening entity shall complete the shortened refresher course no less than every three years. A score of at least 80% on the refresher module shall be required for a person to continue to perform LTSS screenings or give final approval of LTSS screenings on behalf of the screening entity.

3. Failure to satisfy the training and competency tests requirements may result in the retraction of Medicaid payment.
